Washington, D.C. — October 2025 — United Independents has launched INDEPENDENTS: LIVE, a groundbreaking live podcast series designed to bring together reformers, thought leaders, and independent candidates who are reshaping American politics beyond the two-party divide. Broadcast live on X and available afterward on Spotify, the series is rapidly becoming the nation’s leading forum for those committed to people over parties, integrity in leadership, and the renewal of self-governance. A video format is currently in development to enhance the experience.
Hosted by United Independents Founder Christopher Life, INDEPENDENTS: LIVE features bold, solutions-driven conversations that explore what it means to reclaim civic power in an era of deep polarization. Each episode highlights voices from across the independent movement — from national reform leaders to emerging candidates — all working to build a healthier, more representative democracy.
The podcast is more than just a platform for dialogue. It serves as a unique and timely space for candid discussions about the challenges of modern governance, the need for political reform, and the role of independent leadership in reshaping America’s political future.
Recent guests have included Brock Pierce, entrepreneur and 2020 independent presidential candidate, and Dr. Kerry Healey, former Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and Executive Chair of the Forward Party. These conversations, alongside a growing lineup of civic innovators, policy reformers, and community leaders, are helping define a new political frontier where integrity, unity, and citizen-led change take center stage.
“INDEPENDENTS: LIVE is a space for the conversations America actually needs and wants,” said Jennifer Esteban, Director of Operations for United Independents. “We offer honest conversations that answer the questions people want to know and understand about politics, government, and what's happening behind the scenes of the independent movement. People are tired of voting blindly and not understanding why we are where we are. They want to see that there’s been a growing independent movement and that they have a civic duty to get involved and participate somehow — even if just by getting informed and spreading the word. And they want leadership that serves the people, and this show is amplifying exactly that.”
The podcast dives into a variety of themes that are central to the independent movement, including citizen sovereignty, political reform, innovation in governance, economic resilience, and cultural renewal. By fostering dynamic, real-time engagement with listeners, the show makes the conversation accessible to a growing national audience of independents, reformers, and civic-minded citizens. Each live broadcast on X invites listeners to join, engage, and interact with guests, adding a participatory dimension to the discourse.
After each episode, the show is available for on-demand streaming on Spotify, making it easy for listeners to catch up on the critical issues that are being explored by some of America’s most forward-thinking leaders.
“The beauty of INDEPENDENTS: LIVE lies in its ability to create a movement platform,” said Christopher Life, Founder and CEO of United Independents. “Every episode expands the independent ecosystem, builds bridges between reformers, and gives citizens a sense that real change is possible. We’re not waiting for the system to fix itself — we’re building something new.”
The program is part of United Independents’ larger mission to unify and empower America’s independent sector. Through coordinated action, education, and outreach, United Independents aims to connect reform organizations, independent candidates, and governance innovators across the country. This broader effort supports initiatives like Our House ’26, a national campaign aiming to elect a bloc of independent candidates to Congress by 2026, and the Better Governance Institute, a 501(c)(3) project focused on advancing transparency, accountability, and citizen empowerment.
“This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a movement platform,” Life added. “We’re creating a space for people to find solutions and begin working together for a more accountable, transparent, and people-first government.”
The next live episode, titled “What Does It Mean to Be Independent?”, will air on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at https://x.com/i/spaces/1dRKZaDRodvxB. Episodes will continue to be available for streaming on Spotify and at www.independentslive.us.
