Essential Network Press Release
Peter Matthews Announces Essential Network
New Media Venture Will Produce Straightforward, Educational and Entertaining Podcasts
LOS ANGELES – Today, entrepreneur, citizen journalist and podcaster Peter Matthews, also known as “Peter The Knowledge Guy”, launched Essential Network, a new podcast network and independent media company. Essential Network will produce podcasts and live shows in a variety of genres including sports, popular culture, history, true crime, and hard news through a Substack newsletter, a YouTube channel, a Rumble channel, a Locals community and more.
“Now more than ever, we need a media outlet that doesn’t serve partisan, political and corporate agendas, masquerade as straight news and cater to only elite, secular, and solely left-leaning or right-leaning individuals instead of the average person,” Matthews said in a statement. “With your remote control, your computer, and your smartphone, you can make a difference by watching and listening to our shows. When other media outlets flood the zone with falsehoods, noise, media bias, cancel culture, censorship, insults, and incendiary rhetoric, we will flood the zone with the opposite of all of that. In the world we live in right now, Essential Network will serve as the straightforward choice all Americans can count on.”
Essential Network will feature content from a broad range of contributors that will make appearances on its podcasts. Matthews welcomes the public to join Essential Network, which will offer free content alongside content exclusively for paid subscribers. For the latest updates, the public can follow Essential Network on X (Twitter) at https://x.com/essentialnetonx, on Bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/essentialon.bsky.social, and on Telegram at https://t.me/essential_network.
