Howdy, it’s Shannon Ford Middleton. I’m an influencer (don’t call me that), past reality show villain, current funny bitch, and host of Probably A Podcast. My life is a series of crazy events, and I’m here to share them, through hell or herpes, if you know you know. From giggling with my friends to diving deep into conversations about life, no topic is off limits here. Expect to laugh, and constantly question if you accidentally flipped your playback speed to 1.5. Join me every Tuesday for your weekly dose of shenanigans on Probably A Podcast.

Shannon I love you so much but the amount of ads are INSANE. I understand you gotta make that money, but it’s every 10min we listen to a 2min ad. Which is a lot of time for a 1hour podcast. I listen to a lot of podcasts & most are set up where in the beginning, middle & end there’s a good chunk of time dedicated to ads, but yours are single ads so spread out & it’s so irritating. If there is a way to just chunk them together & do 2 or 3 at once, it would truly be so much better & not ruin the flow of the pod so much. I had to turn off the last Bach recap episode because it was truly every 10min. Make your money girl, but there’s a point where it’s just too much.
Shannon, I want to say how proud I am of you. I watched you on Very Cavallaro and did not have the most positive view, but after listening to your most recent episode taking credit for being a young 23 year old and any shortcomings that were exasperated on the show. I was so happy to see the woman you’ve grown into! Your podcast is hilarious, honest and you take full ownership of past wrongdoings. I will be a new continuous listener! ❤️
This is my go-to when I need a laugh & the realest. Shannon is so naturally entertaining and her train of thought is brilliant. Love, love, love!
Listening to this podcast is like hanging out with your bestie. Shannon may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s what makes her unapologetically HER. Keep doing you sis, you have loyal followers that love what you’re doing. Some of these reviews are bizarre from people who simply don’t like her.
If you’re considering listening to this podcast, let me first summarize the format of her interviews for you and save you an hour of nails on a chalkboard: Shannon: Tells a story about herself for ten minutes. Guest: oh um ok uh huh, yeah, uh huh… Shannon: somewhat vaguely relates her story to a question for the guest. Guest: says a few words and… Shannon: interrupts to agree with them or make a comment about what they said, but then continues to talk for another 5 minutes about herself or her opinion about the two words the guest barely got out Guest: (clearly a little distracted and put off from their chain of thought due to the interruption) Shannon: moves on to next question There you have it. Unfortunately, Shannon spends most of the show eagerly answering the questions “for her guests “, herself, taking 5 minutes to ramble on about her answer and then only giving her guests a minute or two of spotlight to somewhat answer the question themselves. She also seems really fake when she’s interviewing people she doesn’t know, and since her recent interviewees are Gen Z, it seems she’s trying to be “cool”. Just comes off with a really inauthentic aura. Shannon solo, or with people she’s close to, is sooo much better but that’s gotten a bit dried up now that she’s become a bit of a homebody after marriage . Which is normal! The cycle of life. But maybe it’s time to move on from podcasting, or else someone needs to coach Shannon to make an effort to tweak her style a bit.
If you’re going to interview someone, the point is to let them speak! Constantly interrupting your guests and turning the story back to you is so incredibly frustrating to hear as a listener.
