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...

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!

She feels unsafe around police 🙄

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

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.

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

Every Monday I wake up I’m excited for a new episode 😍

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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….

I’ve listened to madi for nearly 5 years now and I love it more every week! She’s so funny and fun and has the best insight on life, she’s an inspiration to me!!! Love the pod!

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

“A new year is my wet dream.” Nty

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.

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!

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!

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.

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! 🫶

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.

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!

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.

I love this podcast!

i’ve never missed a week and i never will. love you madi!!!

I recently found Madi from Claire Edward’s recommendation and I just love the bad broadcast and now this whole friend group! Amazing storyteller and the best advice.

Hilarious and entertaining, Madi is now officially one of your closest girlfriends. I don’t miss a week and neither will you once you tune in!

Just started listening and it’s my favorite podcast EVER!!! I love Madi and I Love Lucy ❤️

I saw that someone wrote in the reviews that they were a trump supporter and didn’t agree with Madi’s political views… so I immediately had to write a review and give 5 stars. THANK YOU for being an ally, Madi, and for using your platform to speak about what is right 💙

Found Maddie a few months ago and I have absolutely LOVED tuning in every Monday… and any other day. The spooky October episodes?! So good, I gobbled them up and had to listen to former October episodes cause I could not get enough! Thank you Maddie for creating this inclusive space.

Obsessed with catching up every Monday!! I love the episodes with Lucy as well, you two are my favorite humans. Love that you’re updating your photos and changing intros. Biggest fan 🩷🩷🩷

I listen to Madi every Monday and I look forward to the laughs every week, along with the Patreon extras (join us). Being a mom is hard and being able to listen while I clean, drive, ignore the kids for a minute, is made better when I have her stories and charismatic personality to keep me sane. Please don’t quit anytime soon Madi!

Love the podcast, don’t love your political outlook. Trump 2024 woooooo

I am loving the new era of the Bad Broadcast! The music is fun and in a way uplifting?! But this episode was just so good - thanks for giving big sister vibes and looking out for us Madi! Love the new look of your podcast.

Oh my gosh Madi, long time listener here and I just have to tell you AMAZING NEW VIBES!!!!!! The new pod cover photo, the new intro, the girlie pop music?!!!! yassss!!! All incredible parts of your evolution is while still remaining your genuine self. Thanks for growing with us and continuing to create this space for us! 💛

Madi obviously has a gift with words, hence being the host of this podcast, however she is also the most sincere, kind, hilarious, and entertaining podcast host that ever hosted. She’s a treasure and us listeners are lucky to hear her voice every week (and a little more if you subscribe to the patreon!!!!) I love you Madi!!!!!

Just finished the Graveyard of my 20s episode. It was all I needed to hear this week. I am so thankful for your perspective. Definitely need to leave things to rest in my 20s. Love love love love this podcast. You will cry, laugh, and gain empathy for the people around you. Thank you MM for being real and being yourself. You are a fabulous comedian. The kind that doesn’t have to tear people down for a laugh. Also, I love a good complaint and vent. So thank you for being vulnerable with all of us!

I used to love Madi and her show, but lately the negativity is insane and she is constantly talking trash but so defensive about everything? The show has also gotten so boring. Sad. I unfollowed.

Beyond upset she said she will be using her Halloween music
