Jordon Hudson’s late-night call to podcast host Charlotte Wilder raises questions
On a Saturday evening in July 2025, Jordon Hudson made a strange phone call to Charlotte Wilder, co-host of The Sports Gossip Show, which is now part of The Athletic. Charlotte Wilder said Jordon Hudson introduced herself as “the president of your universe” and started talking about the show’s episode on the Miss Maine pageant. Jordon Hudson complained about how the podcast criticized her participation, saying it might take chances away from others who need them more. Wilder described Hudson’s call as confusing, with legal terms and unclear points. But the most serious part was when Hudson implied Shelby Howell, who won Miss Maine, might not actually live in Maine, which is important for pageant rules.
