Andrews & Thompson: Beyond the Sideline & Into Your Life

Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson host the "Calm Down" podcast, offering listeners an intimate look beyond their NFL sideline reporting careers. The show, described as "girlfriends talking like girlfriends would," delves into personal topics including infertility struggles, divorce, and career advice.

Launched five years ago, the podcast has evolved from casual chats to a platform for vulnerability, with Andrews sharing her journey through IVF and Thompson discussing her second divorce in 2022. Their willingness to be open about life's challenges has resonated deeply with their audience.

The duo has interviewed a diverse range of guests, from Kevin Hart and Derek Jeter to Cameron Diaz. They also share personal anecdotes, like navigating hot game days or discussing travel hacks, adding a unique blend of professional insight and everyday life.

"Calm Down" has also navigated controversies, including comments made about fabricating reports during low-performing seasons, for which Thompson later apologized. Despite challenges, the podcast continues to grow through live shows and interactive segments, demonstrating its broad appeal and the hosts' commitment to authenticity.
