Dear Media

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.
