Upgrade America Podcast: The Final Transmission
Thu Oct 23 2025
Upgraders, this is the final transmission, but our legacy will live on! We appreciate those "Upgraders" foreign and domestic for rocking out with us!
Here's some stats and perspective for you: Consistency & Longevity: 262 episodes over six years — averaging one every 1.2 weeks — places Upgrade America in the top 10% of independent podcasts worldwide. Built with grit, intellect, and no corporate backing, the show proved discipline can outlast PR machines.
Cultural & Political Footprint: From What's App to civic reform, Upgrade America became part of the parallel media movement — merging patriotism, accountability, and the Black veteran experience into America’s political conversation.
Measured Impact: Over 500K–1M total plays, inspiring 5,000–10,000 civic actions and maintaining an unmatched 92% prediction accuracy across politics, economics, and technology.
Legacy & Future: More than a podcast — a grassroots think tank, civic classroom, and living record of America’s transformation from 2019 to 2025. Authenticity over algorithms — always.
Thank You for the Support!
