Episode Summary:
After years of oversharing online and surviving thousands of episodes of a daily live show, Melissa and David Radke are finally doing what exactly seven (maybe eight) people asked them to do: start a podcast.
This is your official teaser for The Radke Show—a twice-a-week adventure into marriage, parenting, family dynamics, failed arguments, finger guns, and why it’s probably best that David just “sits still and looks pretty.”
In this quick episode, Melissa and David explain why they’re launching a podcast, what you can expect (chaos, mostly), and how often it will drop (every Tuesday and Thursday). There’s no expert advice here—just real talk, occasional yelling, and zero filters.
Whether you’ve followed the Radkes for years or just stumbled into this mess, you’re welcome here. Just… don’t do finger guns. Melissa has made that very clear.
What to Expect from The Radke Show:
-
Two episodes a week (Tuesdays & Thursdays)
-
Unfiltered convos on marriage, parenting, sex, and real life
-
Sarcasm, storytelling, and unexpected “yep, that’s me” moments
