The Bad Broadcast

On today's episode we're getting into what makes or breaks a therapist while I read your submissions for the most unhelpful, unethical, and unhinged things your therapists have ever said. As someone who is aggressively pro-therapy, let me just say: therapists can be insane. Bonus: I'm recapping my family reunion and talking about the situation when I'm the most evil! Enjoy!! Madi's...

Did I ever expect to do an entire episode dedicated to Hell? No. No I didn't. But what the hell, am I right? Not only do I break down my beliefs on hell and my own personal hells, we also discuss your submitted answers as to why you're headed there! The bad news: we're all headed to the underworld. The good news: we will all be together! See you there!  Madi's Patreon TODAY'S SPONSORS: ...

The duality of women on full display this week I tap into many emotions ranging from pure rage at the guy at a gas station to tender feelings about psilocybin journeys and motherhood. I'm answering a few questions and offering my perspectives to (hopefully) offer a little companionship and humor through the turmoils of LIFE! Take it, accept it, spin it into gold and for the love of God let's work...

HALF A DECADE TOGETHER!!! You and I have been at this for FIVE. WHOLE. YEARS. It's only appropriate that I wax nostalgic for this episode, revisiting major moments of my life and of the podcast these last five years. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here, loving the pod, embracing change and being my co-host. I love you! Be safe, be kind, be hot.  TODAY'S SPONSORS:  QUINCE: Get...

Our weekly submissions are in! How to handle your friends canceling on your birthday? Friendship feeling distant? Snooping on your partner's phone? What do do when the toilet won't flush? We cover it all in today's episode! We revisit the origins of "Be safe, be kind, be hot" and I'm tempted to add in the most important one: BE. NORMAL. Love ya!

I read a few books and I'm about to make it everyone's problem. WE have R.E.P.O.R.T. this week for everything I'm reading, eating, playing, obsessing over, recommending, and treating myself with. We also revisit a classic Bad Broad segment: The Dumb Dumb Club! TODAY'S SPONSORS:  COZY EARTH: Get up to 40% off of premium bedding and pajamas when you go to  COZYEARTH.COM  and use...

Short answer: maybe. Our list of topics this week ranges from The Met Gala to PMDD to Gypsy Rose and back again! We also discuss the trickiness around Mother's Day and some new traditions I'm implementing in my home. Rounding out the brain dump discussing how I am actively trying to break random addictions and trying to empower y'all to trust yourselves! Lots of chit chat, lots of though...

I hope you are ready for an absolute rollercoaster of an episode. I laughed, I sobbed, I cringed, I gasped.

If you take anything away from the episode I hope it's the following: double check who you send nudes to, stop using TikTok lingo IRL, stop arguing with people in comment sections, and be grateful you've never ruined a proposal.

THE BEAUTY EXTRAVAGANZA IS UPON US! We are talking all about beauty treatments, plastic surgery, skincare, makeup, trends AND MORE! I'm putting on my aesthetician hat today and giving it to you straight about what I think works and what I think can be written off as certified bullshit.  TODAY'S SPONSORS:  QUINCE: Get free shipping and 365 returns when you go to  QUINC...

Don't listen to this one if you're not ready for a bad attitude. Also, just know this episode is a little sexier and a little more explicit than our usual submissions! Talking about all the ridiculous lies your exes have told you, including but not limited to: "Her shirt busted open right into my hands!" The male mind never ceases to amaze and enrage me, I think you'll agree after this o...

Macy Thompson returns! You may know Macy from her ventures as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, being Abby Lee Miller's niece, falling to her knees when she saw Big Ben, or perhaps her stint on DWTS. Macy has lived many lives and is here to tell us about all of them. You can find Macy on Instagram @macy_thompson or TikTok @macy_thompsonn - she also now hosts her own pod called Just A Bit tha...

Today we are playing Would You Rather with my favorite co-hosts: me, myself, and I! In my humble opinion, there's no better way to dig into the psyche. I ponder all the mysteries of life in this episode, such as when was the worst time to live as a woman? Do I want to know how or when I'm gonna die? And the biggest mystery of all: why do all men believe they can fight a bear with only a pocket kni...

Our yearly dose of NOSTALGIA. Talking all things 2005 today: Twilight, The Office, Kelly Clarkson, and MORE!

We wrap up the episode with a little advice column which you can always submit to through the link in my IG highlights! Enjoy! Love you, mean it.&nbsp...

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL CONFIDENT? Today, I attempt to answer this question. So much of the world is telling women how horrible they should feel and how a confident woman is, you know, super gross. But we're sticking it to the proverbial man today and chatting all about how to feel good in your skin and not compare your situation to others because jealousy is a losing game. Choose not to play! T...

This week's submissions had me laughing, crying, angry, and sentimental all at once. Lots of in-law checks in, bad bosses, and petty shit to dissect but we learn this week that above all else: WOMEN. ALWAYS. DO. We get through stuff, we help each other, we are resilient and tenacious and just doing our f*cking best. Whether you're raising kids, finding your career, traveling the world, or jus...

Our first week with the new submission setup went SWIMMINGLY if I do say so myself. This week I fill you in on how I truly became a mother a few days ago when I bullied three 8-year-olds. I also had an annoying gym encounter that I have to fill you in on before getting into our weekly submissions. I can't help but rage a few times, but what else is new? Dating, bad in-laws, & spooky spirituali...

This whole episode is one of those times where I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that I'm in charge of this whole situation. Today we talk about: changes to the podcast structure, Super Bowl food, It Ends With Us Drama, our musical bracket winner, and the sadnesses of winter. How's that for a spectrum of topics? Remember to check my Instagram (@thebadbroadcast) on Tuesdays for s...
