A favorite subject of his are US elections, to which he devotes a significant amount of airtime on his podcast. In addition to his knowledge of current events, Figueredo has extensive expertise in political philosophy, campaign finance laws and other forms of politically-related legislature.

Career Beginnings: Starting The Humanist Report and Gaining Fame

On 15 June 2015, Mike decided to put his knowledge and experience to use by launching the first episode of The Humanist Report. From the beginning, it became clear that he had no intention of being neutral. According to Mike himself: ‘Our primary goal is not to appear neutral, but to remain objective. We do not aim to strike a false balance between preposterous political positions, but instead strive to maintain ideological consistency across a broad spectrum of political issues.’ With such an attitude, Mike aroused a lot of viewers, including garnering a lot of negative responses from mainly right-wing and centrist media.

2016: Support for Bernie Sanders and Widespread Acclaim

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mike voiced his support for Bernie Sanders, the then-governor of the State of Vermont. On The Humanist Report, Mike posted a series of videos in which he elaborated on why Sanders was the ideal candidate for the progressive times we live in. His YouTube channel attracted many like-minded progressive individuals who shared his support of the left-leaning Democratic candidate. It is widely believed that coverage from The Humanist Report and similar podcasts websites largely contributed to Sanders gaining prominence in a short timespan. Later that year after the election concluded, Mike focused on a comprehensive analysis of candidate profiles, and what the country as a whole had, in his opinion, done wrong.

2017: Collaboration With The Young Turks and Criticism of Ajit Pai

The now-famous podcast host got an offer to collaborate with Cenk Uygur, the owner and CEO of the The Young Turks media house and YouTube channel. On many occasions, he voiced his support of Uygur and the stances he expresses through his media. After this partnership became official, Mike rose to perhaps be the most important voice in the net neutrality debate. As the government planned to legalize the separation of different information online, Figueredo took a stand and posted a series of videos on the subject. Every segment and podcast episode of his went viral in a matter of days, as the country was ready to go to arms for internet freedom. Mike’s efforts were so influential that Ajit Pai, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), played the video of his, in which he openly criticizes Pai and several Republican commissioners.

2018: Focus on Midterm Elections and Criticising Militarism

After gaining even more supposed notoriety due to his role in the net neutrality debate, Mike started 2018 off with detailed profiling of  both new and old Democratic candidates. In a series of videos, he also criticised President Trump’s approach to foreign policy, with special coverage of Iran, Syria and North Korea. Using concise arguments and a scholastic approach, Mike suggested better solutions for America to apply in its decisions regarding foreign policy.

Mike considers himself politically independent, but has expressed his liking for socialism on several occasions. He is also anti-establishment, and supports several facets of libertarianism. Policies Mike advocates are net neutrality, the abolition of public college tuition, federal legalization of marijuana and decriminalisation of all drugs, as well as the closure of all US military bases on foreign soil. With the controversial nature of his views, Mike was the recipient of both praise and criticism during the 2016 Presidential Election. On 20 April, 2019, he had his first interview with a presidential candidate when Andrew Yang appeared on The Humanist Report.  Recently, he also stated that he’s in the process of writing two books – “The Rise of Gay Rights Movements in the Middle East & North Africa” and “How to Fix a Broken Democracy”. Both titles will include subjects and topics he researched and covered on The Humanist Report.
