Midas Vibes Episode 5 - Howard Stern Cancelled... Sort of...
There's only one story on everyones lips this week... Howard Stern and SiriusXM are set to part ways after 20 years of business.
Stern was once dubbed The King of Media - the voice of the working man. He was a pioneer of the Shock Jock format, know for hard hitting, harsh rants and takedowns.
Sadly these days he is a shade of his former self, and given the satellite radio platforms days are seemingly numbered... it appears the two parties are unable to come to terms.
These are just our thoughts, let us know yours in the comments. If you like the episode and you want to support us, please do consider leaving a like and subscribing for more.

A New Cover-Up? Trump, Bondi and the Epstein Files
In the latest episode of Midas Vibes, we discuss the story that won't go away.
#donaldtrump #conspiracytheory #epsteincase
The Epstein Case has dominated discussions, both online and in person, for the best part of a decade. Was Jeffrey Epstein an "agent" - was his remit to gathering compromising information on influential figures... and if so... for whom?
We may never know the truth. Which only adds fuel to the flames of conspiracy theory. The recent developments involving the Trump Administration has not helped and it's just reinforced the notion that we all already knew... it's a sad, dark world.
