    Why didn’t you push back when he told you about the Sage Steele incident ? He said he told ESPN he didn’t want to appear with her because of her Obama comments. Why not ? You didn’t push to explain why.

    Refreshing!
    Thank you, Michele for bringing inspiration, kindness, understanding, and gentle humor to a world that often brings the opposite. I love listening to your podcast late at night, as it often brings refreshment and calm before I sleep. Thank you for the profound and professional work you do daily.

    Too many commercials
    Love the content…, but there are too many commercials that pop in the middle of the conversation.
  • StPaulFan
    Refreshing and just a great interviews.
    Michelle - I truly enjoy listening to your podcasts. You have a great style. You allow your guests to talk but you still get in tough and direct questions. It appears that your guests are comfortable and at ease. Your shows are relevant but not repetitive. Your voice can be conservative but that does limit your content or guest list. Thank you for what you do so well.

    A voice of reason!
    Like most everyone, I was a fan of Michelle’s during her time in pro sports. First heard her dive into politics on Megyn Kelly’s show. Her words struck a chord. Recently heard more of her story on The Three Martini Lunch podcast, another chord was struck. Finally dived into her show. Her passion and reason carries through the speaker on my phone as much as it did through the television screen all those years talking sports. Great stuff Michelle.

    Biological Woman Episode
    I am so thankful that these young women are taking a stand against the insanity. I am thankful that you give them a platform to share their views.

    Thank you!
    I just started listening Michelle. Saw you on Alpha News and heard you on Megan Kelly. I'm a 65 year old who loves our country, knows it's history and what an amazing nation we are. I have been saying to my self and others that I don't understand the world right now, it feels like everything is upside down. Thank you for affirming and articulating many of my thoughts on this issue. It was like having a counseling session. I too have a gnawing feeling of impending implosion of our society if we continue down this path. I have now listened to several of your podcasts. You are a great communicator. Keep it up!!!

    Horrible Show
    Michele isn’t informed. She repeats the same talking points.

    Coming into her own
    Michelle has really come into her own as a podcaster. The James Lindsay episode was excellent. I listen to his podcast but thought that the questions Michelle asked drew out some nuggets that I had not heard before.

    Great message! NO I would not let any of them in fact my weapon would be drawn. We are facing a sad situation and we need our boarders secured. By the way, not sure what platform you use but this one busts into commercials right in the middle of your message. It’s horrible.

    Count me in!
    Can I join your group, even though, my Latina, Brunette hair is now gray? I gave up dying my hair after seeing young girls drying their hair gray. Love you Podcast!
  • Jordo T
    Thankful for this show!
    Great guests, great talking points, Michele is amazing! Loved her since she was on the sidelines and this show is the most sense I’ve heard since the world went sideways (whenever that was). This show gives me comfort that I’m not the only one that feels as strongly about some world topics that SHOULD be common sense. Would love to talk sanity with you Michele!!!! Jordan Tiedt

    Fact forward interviews
    I admire Michele’s interview style. She cuts through the nonsense and asks factual questions and digs deep to get the root answers to problems, politics, society, etc… she’s the real deal. I do miss her on the NFL sidelines, but applaud her following her calling.
  • IBPTgirl
    My eyes were opened too!
    I enjoyed hearing Natalie’s journey from liberal left to conservative right! I took the same kind of journey, only less publicly! Let her know my support and thank you for this podcast! Rebecca E.

    Debate Team, Cancel Culture
    I loved your frank discussion regarding the debate teams and the absurd mentality of some of the judges- Kudos! The entire podcast you did today offered a clear look and good examples of how crazy the “Woke” culture is; actually, their attitudes are often quite racist and sexist- they find most of us “normal” people guilty! Thanks for a candid discussion, Michele. And keep covering this stuff- Media needs more smart, common sense folk like you to continue speaking out on the outrageous behavior of the “woke” …
  • Blondiebeeay
    Pleasantly Surprised
    I didn’t know what to expect from this podcast because I think of Michelle Tafoya as an accomplished sideline reporter. But..I am loving her new podcast. She is smart, prepared and open minded but strong and fair. She’s everything we need at this point in time. Keep up the great work Michelle!

    Want more data
    I appreciate opinion pieces, but I would like more data to convince me. As an example: What are the reading and math stats in FL?
  • RC in Techsas
    Connect the dots!!!
    Love the show, but sometimes your efforts to be civil and accepting of all points of view prevents you from seeing the big picture. Your most recent show questioned: (a) why is there zero desire of the Biden admin to control the border? (b) why didn’t the mid-term red wave materialize? but you failed to ask, (c) who is adamantly opposed to voter ID laws? A+B+C = an insurmountable electoral stranglehold RC Lubbock, Tx

    Finally
    Finally a podcast with a down to earth, common sense, intelligent woman. Michele was one of my favorite NFL sideline reporters. I had not known she was a like minded common sense gal like myself. Miss you on the sidelines but so glad to have you here on this podcast.
  • Photosbyjohng
    This!
    We need more of this… common sense!
  • Archieleta
    Awesome host and interviews!
    Michelle is great and so are the down to earth people she interviews! Great information!

    Best podcast ever!!
    Love listening to this podcast! Michelle presents the facts and always has super interesting guests that help you understand what is happening in our society and encourages all to be kind and make a difference! It’s one of my favorite podcasts! Listen and you will be better for it!!

    That recognizable voice!
    I’ve loved Michelle Tafoya since her time reporting on the sidelines for the NFL. I’ve watched football forever and when the football season rolled around I loved the recognizable voices of Chris, Al, Mike and Michelle that just made you know football season is on! I always loved her perspective and the bonus of seeing a female provide football commentary was inspiring. After listening to her on Megyn Kelly’s podcast last year, I was surprised by her views on other topics that weren’t football. It was refreshing to hear a reasonable and moderate voice from a major corporate news network. Although I shouldn’t be surprised since corporate news tends to lean a certain way, it’s always encouraging to know there are good reporters/journalists out there that actually want to report the truth and not sensationalized Fake news reports. This is all to say, I love the podcast, your topics, guests and of course, your voice! Keep up the great work!

    Great intro.
    I’ve only listened to a few minutes and I love it already! Great line that Michelle started really young. Heard her on ‘Chicks on the Right’ with Mock and Daisy and had to get more. Sports is a microcosm of life and I’m so glad Michelle took the step to share her remarkable insights on, if not a bigger stage, a more important one.
  • benniesdad
    Relatable common sense stuff
    Michelle’s podcast sounds like the kinds of conversations that my wife and I would have when discussing current topics. Appreciate her honesty and vulnerability when discussing issues.
  • Hunternid
    Interview with Bob Costas
    A great episode! I’ve always enjoyed Bob Costas reporting/commentary. I really appreciated hearing Mr. Costas’ perspective on ALL issues talked about. Also appreciated hearing his testimony regarding his realization when he missed the opportunity to talk about domestic violence. That shows humility but also shows his heart for the responsibility he has in the business. Great job Michelle and thanks for doing a podcast.
  • cagey1
    She’s so Reasonable
    It’s a comfort to find someone who doesn’t yell and complain.
  • Raemi95
    Jack Hibbs was right
    Heard you on Jack Hibbs and now I’m here! Keep up the great shows… loving them!
  • Ultrari
    Thanks for your leadership
    I do not follow sports and was unaware of your career. However I heard your interview with Jack Hibbs and was inspired by your commitment to your family and our country. Thank you for all you do.
  • mdmaeir
    Intelligent discussion of a variety of issues
    I love listening to Michele. She has both angered and inspired me, depending on the topic, but she does it while listening to a variety of viewpoints and her guests have diverse backgrounds. She asks questions I would ask, given the opportunity.
  • Jamy Bechler
    Good discussions
    Michele does a good job of talking through issues and providing multiple perspectives. She has a wide variety of guests who are entertaining and insightful.
  • NY Paison
    Not very well-informed
    When I heard Michelle during one of her interviews, call Emma she believes Joe Biden was elected legitimately right then and there I stop listening and she lost all credibility with me
  • :"2477,!:
    Thank you
    Was a huge football fan all my life till they started kneeling, not watched a game since or will I ever. But this woman has become one of my favorite people to listen too. I think this is her calling. Well done
  • SweetSherry
    Love it
    Thanks for always representing common sense Michelle! America needs millions more voices like you. Keep up the good work! Really enjoy your podcast.
  • Temply123
    Great interviews
    So far I really enjoy listening to Michelle’s podcast. Like everything today politics is a big part of it but it comes from her heart based on her experiences not from talking points mindlessly repated.

    Honest
    Inspirational! Brave, says the things out loud most of us are thinking but we feel suppressed for a variety of reasons.
