In this episode of Mic Check, Y’all, we’re pulling up a chair with Ashley to talk all things Grammys 2026 — the wins, the misses, the moments that worked, and the ones that had us blowing up each other's phones.

From first reactions and standout performances to bigger questions about what the Grammys mean now, we’re breaking it all down with honesty, humor, and a little front-porch perspective. We also put ourselves in press junket mode, practicing the kinds of thoughtful questions we’d ask artists on the carpet — because one day, that porch leads somewhere 👀.

✨ In this episode we delve into Grammy night first reactions, performances worth rewatching (and skipping), whether or not the Grammys are still culturally relevant, Front Porch Questions about taste, legacy, and timing, and Press Junket Practice: what we’d really ask Grammy winners.

Mic Check, Y’all is a podcast about friends, films, and front porch talk — where pop culture meets thoughtful conversation and a little Southern charm.

In Episode 3 of Mic Check, Y’all, I’m joined by Regan—one of the founding voices of the podcast—for a front porch conversation that feels like coming home.

We talk about what we’ve been watching lately, the kinds of stories that always pull us into conversation, and how our relationship with TV and movies has changed over time. From passing the remote to practicing thoughtful press junket questions, this episode is a reminder that the best conversations don’t need an agenda—just a place.

In this episode:

• Catching up on what we’ve both been watching

• Front Porch Questions with a little history

• Passing the remote and sharing recommendations

• Slowing down and talking through the moments that stick

• Practicing press junket questions together

This episode reflects how Mic Check, Y’all began—with honest conversations, shared taste, and a seat saved on the porch.

Pull up a chair and sit a spell.

In this solo episode of Mic Check, Y'all, I'm pulling up a chair and slowing things down. It's just us on the front porch!We’re talking about what I’ve been watching lately, why certain shows feel like home, and how the stories we return to often say more about us than we realize. This isn’t a review or a ranking—it’s a check-in. The kind of conversation that happens when the TV’s still on, the night’s winding down, and you finally have space to think. In this episode we talk about what I've been watching lately, a few Front Porch Questions turned inwards, my recommendations when passed the remote, and a little Press Junket Practice moment. (Plus a little life, humor, and some reflection lol)This episode is about setting the tone for what this podcast is meant to be: friends, films, and front porch talk—even when it’s just one voice.Pull up a chair.Mic check, y’all.👇Let me know in the comments:What’s a show or movie that feels like home to you?
