Michelle Tafoya might have left the sports media side when she left her role on Sunday Night Football as a sideline reporter for NBC to move into politics.
However, it didn’t mean Tafoya wasn’t leaving the media industry for good, as she’s now back on a podcasting platform. Radio Ink relayed the announcement made by Salem Podcast Network, which has signed Tafoya to host a podcast called “Sideline Sanity.”
“I cannot wait for the rest of the country to get to know Minnesota’s own Michele Tafoya beyond her successful years of reporting from the sidelines,” Nic Anderson, Salem Twin Cities GM, said.
“She’s full of insight, passionate about her platform and she’s ready to speak her mind. And Salem Media-Twin Cities is eager to help as we produce her podcast for a national audience and look forward to working with her locally as opportunities arise.”
Tafoya’s new podcast will concentrate on life, politics, and world news; and air four episodes a week beginning May 23.
“I’m thrilled to launch my first podcast with the Salem Podcast Network,” Tafoya said. “It’s exciting to join the chorus of talented Salem voices discussing the historic issues facing America and the world.”
