Don’t even care what she’s talking about, it’s always funny
I love this podcast. The topic never matters to me because it is always entertaining and hilarious

My favorite podcast
Madi is so fun, creative, and such a hoot! I love listening to her. She’s also so real and relatable and funny.
DP&!
It’s a yes from me
This podcast is like winning the BEST reliable friend! Madi has pulled me through discouragement in my 20s, gave advice that I live by, AND made me laugh out loud in silent spaces multiple times.

Get on with it
Love the listener stories, TV show recaps and other fun segments! Don’t love the 40+ minutes of personal opinions and relating every story back to herself.

Such a great podcast!
This is one of the few podcasts that I listen to every week! No skips! Glad to see Madi thriving in her mom era! 🫶🏻

LOVE
Obsessed with this podcast! I look forward to it every monday, gives me THE BEST energy to start my week! I really love the balance of fun submissions, guests, relatable mom chat and IM HERE for the deep stuff too! A few reviewers can’t seem to handle a sprinkle of personal beliefs…okay🤨 but I think the podcast has a great balance and I love hearing about all of it!

The most phenomenal podcast
I don’t even know where to begin with this podcast and how much joy it has brought me. It seems like Madi and I have been through every phase of life together at the exact same time. From pregnancy, postpartum depression, leaving the church, changes in lifestyle, happiness, sadness you name it. Every Monday I get to look forward talking with a friend that makes me feel a little less alone. Madi is so real and doesn’t sugarcoat it. She tells you the raw parts of friendship, motherhood, and just life. My favorite podcast ever.

A Weekly Must-Listen!
I have been listening to this pod for years and it always baffles me that she doesn’t have a cohost - it feels like a full house given how much energy she brings and how the dialog flows naturally through the episode. I like that’s she talks a bit about her personal life and isn’t afraid to share her opinions and preferences. This is a perfect “just yapping” podcast and it really starts my week out strong!

I liked this podcast for a really long time, but I can't with all the political comments... "The south has a lot of things wrong with them… A lot of MAGA floats????" Bye...

Fan no more 👎🏽
I loved this podcast and would look forward to it every week. However I’ve had to let it go. I loved the viewer submitted stories but now the majority of the episode is Madi sharing personal views which I have no interest in. It also seems like a place to bash anything or anyone that she doesn’t agree with. Lots of man hating, large group generalizations and contradictions. It leaves me with an overall negative feeling. I wish it could go back!

Love the stories!
Love the stories and Madi’s commentary on them. The serious topics and life advice feel too self-helpy for me.

Not so fun
This show used to be so fun with listener stories and fun topics. In a 50 minute episode, the host barely spends 20 minutes on the fun TITLE topic and 30 on her interests. It gives aggressive mean girl needs attention. No thanks.

Listen for the first time
Being born and raised, and currently living in southern California, listening to your podcast was a breath of fresh air! Your personality is So “real” and your content so relatable! Even though I’m currently polishing silver🫣🤪, I feel like I just finished having lunch with a really fun friend!!
Thanks

If I had to choose ONE podcast, it would be this one, truly. I’ve been listening since COVID (!!) and I will never stop. I love Madi, I’ve loved being there listening in as she’s navigated so many transitions and joyful/devastating situations (didn’t love those but love what they led her to), all while being so open and vulnerable and hilarious and spicy throughout. I’ll follow her anywhere xoxo

Love the story episodes
I love the story episodes! I listen to podcasts to have fun so the lighthearted episodes are the ones I gravitate towards. Madi is fun and relatable. I often skip more serious topics. I love the new mom content as I’m a new mom too so it’s nice to listen to someone who understands.
Her new health journey has been fun to listen to and inspiring. I’ve learned a lot from her.
Madi often says she tries to leave politics and religion out of her show, and I appreciate her efforts haha However one or both topics pretty much always find their way into the podcast.

Mean girl
I’ve listened since the beginning so I’m not sure when Madi turned into a mean girl but here we are. The vibes give off mean girl and I-know-more-than-you. I can’t roll my eyes hard enough during every recent episode.

It’s the way I’m GIDDY when Mondays come around. I’ve been listening for years and she has yet to disappoint. She’s a girls girl and I love feeling so seen as a mom and a woman in general. I’m locked in every week and I hope it never ends!!!

Gone downhill
This used to be a fun podcast where users submitted stories that were really entertaining.
Now it’s only the host talking about what she likes and dislikes and has absolutely no substance. I keep listening hoping it will pick back up but for a few months now, I can’t finish an episode.

A girl’s girl, relatable, hilarious time. Like I’m sitting down for coffee with a bestie. Truly, hilarious. LISTEN RIGHT NOW.

just getting a little too negative
I’ve loved the bad broad, but unfortunately it’s not giving the same fun energy it used to, a little too much aggressively complaining and not enough fun topics

Scary lady
I used to love this podcast and the listener submitted topics but recently it’s just been her talking about boring things and being so aggressive about certain topics, I feel like she’s yelling at us haha. Not a super fun listen anymore, I wish she’d go back to the old format.

Over it
Yawn. Not enjoyable anymore.

Maddie
Listening to your advice n thought it was well balanced n apropos.
There was however one Mom who had an issue with husband not helping much even though they both work.
One item to ask Mom’s are we very nit-picky in how things are done or not done to perfection?
If that’s the case then husbands/ partners may not be willing to help out. They may be forever criticized or ridiculed.
Mom’s may have to be specific only when there’s safety involved If they are picky about every procedure or activity- nobody wants to pitch in.
Parents of the couple may not want to help out either.
We have to hear the other side of the story….

Maddie is great. It’s like listening to a kind, smart, funny friend. I’ve been listening for a couple of years now.

Am Extra bad episode
Been divorced for a year, and I’ve been dating a lot. I got so frustrated with my last relationship that I decided to give up. Then this episode is published and all of a sudden I feel genuine hope again. To all those who turned in a submission, thank you. I hope to find a good man this year.

OG listener
Been listening to this podcast since 2020 and it has been fun to watch Madi grow up alongside myself 🥲 (even tho she has no clue who I am lol). This podcast is like chatting with a friend and gives me a great distraction from the real world. It’s also interesting to me because I live in Missouri and have zero knowledge of Mormonism/LDS so every time she explains those cultural things I’m like whoa, news to me lol. Love you Madi, keep growing and doing you!

Meh
Used to be a weekly listener but the constant lds talk and lowkey bashing people who don’t agree with her politically isn’t for me anymore. Keep religion and politics out of it <3

LOVE who Madi is!
I’ve been listening to Madi since she launched the podcast back in 2020. Back when the chick flick brackets were the focus of Covid and she did watch parties on zoom!
I randomly met her in SL in 2024, and she was genuinely so kind and great to talk to. That being said, I’ve literally been listening to her for five years—through all of her ✨eras✨—and I couldn’t be prouder of who she is and how she continues to evolve.
From what she’s shared, she’s been through some pretty big life changes, yet she still manages to make me laugh and keeps bringing fresh, engaging topics to the podcast.
Honestly, I’m shocked at how some people feel the need to tear down a woman who is thriving—both personally and professionally—through sheer hard work. Let her live! No need to announce your exit.
If you love easy-to-listen-to podcasts, The Bad Broadcast is an amazing choice!

Ehhh
Used to be an avid listener but I feel like the focus has totally shifted. It’s now a lot of lifestyle, influencing, wellness type material which is fine but just not for me or what this podcast originally was. I feel like Madi really shined with the goofy not so serious topics, listener stories, and random nostalgic deep dives and the new stuff is just bland in my opinion.

Fun and Easy Listen
I just discovered this podcast and I have been binge listening episodes. Such a fun and easy listen for when you’re in the car, cleaning the house or on a walk! So happy I found a new podcast to listen to!

Authentic and Relatable
I love this podcast. Madi is just so fully herself and she brings that to this pod. I originally came for the story submission episodes but stayed bc Madi always keeps this podcast fresh, interesting and most importantly, true to her and who she is. I was worried that this would become yet another mommy blogger platform but Madi has managed to balance the line of telling us about her ups and downs of becoming a mom while not losing her entire personality to being one. I noticed that some LDS folks (who probably aren’t even listeners bc Madi has been clear for YEARS that she no longer identifies with that faith) took to Madi’s ratings after she hosted her friend and fellow podcaster Hayley. Not cool, not a good witness (assuming you actually care about that) and also not appropriate: Madi is allowed to believe what she does, and platform the people she choose. Listen, and maybe learn something, or skip it and don’t, but don’t take it out on her ratings. I’m not LDS but follow and listen to plenty of LDS women’s content. When they mention their faith I don’t cancel or downrate them because it’s different from mine. I wish the LDS women could afford non Mormons the same respect.

One sided convos with my bestie
Like we’re chatting about all of the most pressing issues from pop culture to bad dates to weird families, and Madi is so funny and witty and entertaining, I don’t even realize I’m not part of the convo. Highlight of my mondays!

Love it!!
Madi describes things in my favorite way — like a lifelong friend and with the best sense of humor. This podcast is so easy to listen to no matter what I’m doing, and I look forward to Mondays!

Have you listened to other podcasts? Madi is gold.
Hard to find a lifestyle/pop culture podcast as good as The Bad Broadcast. Always funny and relatable, it’s more effective than my Lexapro. Never leave us, Madi.

My #1 Podcast!
Madi is so fun to listen to! Each topic of her podcast is new and exciting and the dialogue she gives is hilarious! I have a headphone in one ear all day at work and I just let the episodes play one after the other. If you want to feel like you’re at a sleepover giggling with your girl friends again Madi will deliver :) The show ranges from different topics spanning girlhood, motherhood, health, with listener submission segments. This is my #1 go to podcast! 🫶

religion talk
loved her and I have listened to her every week but she has to realize that a big part of her listeners are lds. don’t care if you left, just leave religion out of your podcast.

Flat like 3 day old Swig
I used to love this podcast- interesting premise, fresh takes, genuinely interesting. Now the podcast is boring- another utah girl making motherhood her ONLY personality trait. I took a listening break to see if it was just me and the sparkle would return after time (absence makes the heart fonder and all) but turned off all the new episodes in the first 15 minutes. Sorry girl- your new merch is cute though!

Sad to be done
I loved the podcast for years, but this latest episode (w/Haley from the Girls Camp pod) made it pretty clear that she doesn’t hold a lot of respect for Mormon women, and the way they spoke about us (so black and white, not knowing we can have choices, etc) made me sad. There’s room for all kinds of people in the world—but not, I think, in this podcast.
