Independent News and Commentary from Tim Pool
Tim Pool, founder of Timcast Media, remains a dominant voice in independent journalism and political commentary in 2025. His YouTube network, including Timcast IRL, generates over 40 million monthly views and features nightly live streams with political figures, cultural critics, and tech entrepreneurs. In 2024, Pool expanded his media business with the launch of Cast Castle Studios, producing documentary content and music releases under the Timcast label. He now manages a staff of 50+ and publishes across platforms including X, Rumble, and his own Timcast.com.
Originally a livestreamer for Occupy Wall Street in 2011, Pool gained recognition for his mobile, on-the-ground reporting during major protest movements. A self-described centrist, he combines libertarian ideals with a sharp critique of mainstream narratives. Pool’s independent funding model, driven by subscribers and merchandise, has made him one of the most financially successful alternative media figures. His content often ranks among the most-watched political shows on YouTube and Rumble.
