Recommendation: Hard Lens Media

With No Live Show Sunday, There Are No New Clips, So This Week We're Showcasing Our Favorite Substacks, Publishers & Creators

Hard Lens Media (

Hard Lens Media

) is a scrappy, user-funded independent channel that’s been around since 2016. Based in Chicago and founded by Kit Cabello and Daniel Luepker, they fight for the 99% against the corporate machine.

Their consistency & commitment to corporate-free independent media earned them inclusion in the inaugural class of

Indie Media Awards

honorees when we created them in 2022.

I have been helping Kit publish

Hard Lens Media’s Substack

daily for several months now - we just published our 100th post. Subscribe FREE for links to the complete livestreams on YouTube and Rumble, plus additional notifications (like when YouTube terminated their channel back in January - don’t worry, it’s back now!) Full disclosure, I am a moderator for their YouTube, Rumble, Rokfin & Discord channels. Give them a follow! Support Independent Media.

Kit and Hard Lens have been incredibly supportive of

IndieNews Network (INN)

and of me, personally - for which I am incredibly grateful.

If you are able to support Indie Media Today and/or

Indie News Network

INN with a paid subscription either here or at Patreon, it would go a long way and I would be deeply grateful.

I put a TON of time into curating, editing and amplifying independent content; producing shows, graphics, podcasts - both INN’s & others’. It would be a dream if I were able to generate the income that would allow me to do this full-time, and I would be able to do even more. Thank you!

Thank You! Our Mother’s Day “How Did We Miss That” marathon yesterday was one of our more highly viewed livestreams of 2024!
