The MLG Collective® Podcast Network is home to truth-telling conversations for people who actually care about what they’re consuming.
Hosted by Michelle Glogovac—podcast publicist, author of How to Get on Podcasts, and creator of the Podcast Book Tour™—this network exists at the intersection of books, politics, culture, and lived experience. No performative takes. No lazy interviews. No skipping the hard parts.
Every show under The MLG Collective® is built on the same non-negotiables: preparation, integrity, depth, and respect for the audience’s intelligence. Michelle reads the books. She does the research. She asks the questions most hosts won’t—and lets conversations unfold without sanding off the edges.
These are shows for people who want more than soundbites.
More context. More honesty. More accountability.
Less BS.
Read The Damn Book is grounded in a simple truth: books don’t just entertain us—they connect us.
Hosted by Michelle Glogovac, this show explores how stories build empathy, spark understanding, and bring people together by allowing us to step into lives and perspectives beyond our own. Each episode goes deeper than a surface-level conversation, examining what books reveal about power, identity, motherhood, ambition, grief, politics, and belonging.
Michelle interviews novelists, nonfiction writers, and cultural voices with intention and preparation—because the work matters. Every book is read. Every question is thoughtful. Every conversation respects both the author and the audience. No skim reads. No fluff. No performative praise.
Read The Damn Book also lives beyond the podcast. Michelle hosts an in-person book club in San Jose, creating real-world community where readers gather to talk honestly about books—and the lives they reflect.
If you believe reading is an act of empathy and that stories are how we better understand each other, you’re in the right place.
Beyond The Campaign is built on a belief we’ve somehow forgotten: we should actually know the people who represent us.
Hosted by Michelle Glogovac, this show goes past stump speeches, rehearsed talking points, and issue checklists to focus on the humans asking for our votes. Because democracy works best when candidates are accessible, accountable, and understood—and when voters are informed beyond a ballot guide.
Each episode centers on who these candidates and leaders are: their values, lived experiences, families, failures, motivations, and what led them to seek public office in the first place. Yes, policy matters—but so does character, judgment, and how someone shows up when the cameras are off.
Beyond The Campaign invites voters to slow down and listen. To educate themselves before casting a ballot. To engage with candidates as people, not performances—and to demand more transparency from those who want power.
No political theater.
No attack ads.
No rehearsed soundbites.
Just real conversations with real people—so you can decide who deserves your vote with clarity, context, and confidence.
BURNT is what happens when women stop pretending they’re fine.
Co-hosted by Michelle Glogovac and Lauren Lehman Carter, this show tackles motherhood, faith, grief, culture, burnout, community, and the quiet rage that comes from carrying too much for too long. It’s raw, reflective, funny, and deeply human.
These conversations aren’t polished—and that’s the point. BURNT makes space for complexity, contradictions, and the kind of honesty you don’t get in curated highlight reels.
If you’ve ever loved your life and still felt exhausted by it, you’ll feel seen here.
