The Pool House with Alex Madore
The Pool House with Alex Madore is back — stripped down, rebuilt, and more personal than ever. What started as chaos and comedy has evolved into something rawer: a mix of unfiltered storytelling, candid reflections, and the occasional absurd bit of magic. It’s music, heartbreak, work-life wizardry, and the strange loops of healing — all told straight from the voice that lived it. Expect honesty before humor, clarity before chaos. And when the laughs land, they’ll hit harder because you know what’s underneath. Welcome back. This time, the pool’s deeper.

Bloopers, the Great Gatsby, bad Andrew Cuomo impressions, accidental vulnerability, and failing jokes... Welcome to another beta test of the Pool House 2.0
The podcast returns, and a lot has changed - from stepping away from a microphone for awhile, to closure at monasteries, to figuring out what this show even is anymore, this is the most honest Alex has ever been on the record. Recorded on a porch, no studio, no voice impressions, no gimmicks - just a reset, and a hello again.
Buckle up for an unfiltered Pool House ride as Alex and Kelsey spiral through a week of chaos — tackling everything from PCOS advocacy to the return of Alex’s Handsome Arc, from presidential impressions to a bizarre office Ratatouille situation.

✅ PCOS, healthcare struggles, and self-advocacy<...
Alex gets mistaken for a criminal, Kelsey injects herself on-mic like a badass, and someone might be harboring live rodents at the office. This one has everything: PCOS advocacy, Real ID rants, mango kombucha obsession, ghost echoes of the Pool House, and one cleanly delivered joke that’s definitely going to get heard by the wrong person.
There’s court, burps, and ancient pain disguised as satire.
Also—GT Dave, we love you. Please sp...
