Season finale! And this was my favorite one-on-one or whatever, uh, ever? Also, if you like angry Adam this one is for you.But we get into the catfishing! How Robyn knew someone who KNEW the catfish! We talk about Ron, thank GOD. Nothing is Kody's fault, and I read him the riot act over it. Meanwhile - why does Kody dislike Jenn, the world's best friend?

Well my goodness, this is so fun. I was joined by Kara Berry of Everyone's Business but Mine to talk the penultimate episode of season 20 of Sister Wives!We talk about Robyn's anger, David's... red flags, frankly, and especially the choice to try to get married on Meri's birthday. Oh, and we troll Robyn's instagram comments at the end and I nearly pass out from laughter.

Business is picking up! David is mad! Robyn is even more mad! Meri is steady, and Suki brings a lot more heat and pointed questions to the Browns and former Browns.

Welcome to Plathville will be back next week, but I had the chance to talk to Melanie and Cory of Notes to Self 444 about any number of things, including their first-hand experiences with the AUB - the same cult that brought us the Brown family. We talk all about that and a lot more, so I hope you enjoy.Notes to Self on Youtube.Notes to Self on TikTok.Notes to Self on Instagram.Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!Listen to my sister podcast I'm Already Scared!Check out The Sister Wives Professor Campus Book Store (merch shop) right here!Follow TSWP on Facebook right here and join the Facebook group!Follow TSWP on Instagram and TikTok!Intro/outro music by There Will Be Fireworks, used with permission.

Yeah, so this has been in the works for a while, and it happened. I was able to talk to Sukanya Krishnan about all kinds of Sister Wives and non-Sister Wives stuff. The art of interviewing, the prep she has to do prior to filming the tell-alls, her dynamic with Kody, and who is the hardest cast member to interview?Plus, I quiz her on her childhood crush, comfort food, and her entire career. It was way fun (and surreal!) to talk to her, and I hope you all enjoy it.Just in case anyone's curious, yes this was sanctioned by TLC and so yeah, I did try to keep it very fair and respectful of her time and what she can and can't talk about. Which I was happy to do. But I did want to mention it.Enjoy!Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!Listen to my sister podcast I'm Already Scared!Check out The Sister Wives Professor Campus Book Store (merch shop) right here!Follow TSWP on Facebook right here and join the Facebook group!Follow TSWP on Instagram and TikTok!Intro/outro music by There Will Be Fireworks, used with permission.

Welcome... to the beginning of the end? Of season 20 at least. Which I did not realize until now. OOPS.Sukanya is back! And so are the Browns and former Browns as we start the painful and delightful process of unpacking what on earth we all just spent several months watching.

Kody returns home to manosphere manor to make the most important apology of all - to Robyn? But not before falling over on his ATV, a family tradition.

Kody meets with Meri to apologize, but it doesn't go very well at all. In fact, he reveals the major issue may be her friends don't seem to like him very much. Janelle frets that the church leaders of her former faith may not dissolve her spiritual marriage to Kody. Meanwhile, Christine is in the basement literally but no longer metaphorically.Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!Listen to my sister podcast I'm Already Scared!Check out The Sister Wives Professor Campus Book Store (merch shop) right here!Follow TSWP on Facebook right here and join the Facebook group!Follow TSWP on Instagram and TikTok!Intro/outro music by There Will Be Fireworks, used with permission.

More Plathville for you all, so I hope you enjoy and are enjoying your holiday as well. The Plath family continues to change as Ethan and Olivia struggle over a great deal. More pressing for Kim is Lydia's communication with a young man she fancies, and the way Kim tries to walk the tightrope of manipulation is something else.Hope you all enjoy as always.Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!Listen to my sister podcast I'm Already Scared!Check out The Sister Wives Professor Campus Book Store (merch shop) right here!Follow TSWP on Facebook right here and join the Facebook group!Follow TSWP on Instagram and TikTok!Intro/outro music by There Will Be Fireworks, used with permission.

Goodness.Well we're back with part II of Kody's apology tour stop with Christine and David and the metaphorical wheels fall out as Kody confronts his worst nightmare - a man who knows what he's talking about. Meri reveals Kody's plans to talk to her and her friends are not very supportive. Janelle keeps moving toward her own spiritual divorce. Good for her. Also, I get mad a bunch of times.

Surprise!I figured i'd give you some more content this month and it's been about a year since my last AMA podcast. Maybe i'll do these once a year every December? We will see.I asked my patrons for any questions they'd like me to answer and they delivered.I answer questions like who would I want to spend the day with from the cast of Sister Wives, my feelings on academia, if i'll ever write a memoir, Kody's feelings toward Robyn and Meri, and a lot more. So I hope you all enjoy.

The apology tour continues with its next stop - Christine (and David)! Kody struggles with a lack of control in the situation and spirals in how he communicates about David in particular. Meanwhile we are treated to SIGNIFICANT RONTENT finally. All the Ron you could ever ask for and perhaps a bit more as Meri and her found family rally deservingly around Jenn's husband.Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!Listen to my sister podcast I'm Already Scared!Check out The Sister Wives Professor Campus Book Store (merch shop) right here!Follow TSWP on Facebook right here and join the Facebook group!Follow TSWP on Instagram and TikTok!Intro/outro music by There Will Be Fireworks, used with permission.

Welcome back to Plathville! I am now launching my coverage of season 3 of Plathville.My plan is to do biweekly podcasts making my way through season 3 for now. Perhaps more frequent, but lets start this way at least through the holidays. And so yes, that means the next one should drop shortly before Christmas in case that's of interest to you.But in the meantime, we flash back to the wake of Ethan's driveway dust-up with his parents. He and Olivia continue to struggle, and we see a lot of indications of what we now know was going on behind the scenes at the time. Meanwhile, Moriah and Max are... doing that whole thing. There's actually a lot to talk about, so let's get to it.

Meri and Amber attend a singles mixer in Vegas, but will they find love? No, not even close. But we find a Yelp review, so that's something. Kody starts his apology tour with Janelle and gets exactly what he was looking for. Which is... a complex situation, I guess. We will talk all about it. Also Christine plays pickleball, which, fine.Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!Listen to my sister podcast I'm Already Scared!Check out The Sister Wives Professor Campus Book Store (merch shop) right here!Follow TSWP on Facebook right here and join the Facebook group!Follow TSWP on Instagram and TikTok!Intro/outro music by There Will Be Fireworks, used with permission.

Season finale! I discuss Garrick's recent behaviors and brief imprisonment. But as far as the show, there's a gender reveal party, break-ups, make-ups, and more. We say goodbye to season six of Seeking Sister Wife and i'll be honest - I feel pretty weird about the whole thing.Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!Listen to my sister podcast I'm Already Scared!Check out The Sister Wives Professor Campus Book Store (merch shop) right here!Follow TSWP on Facebook right here and join the Facebook group!Follow TSWP on Instagram and TikTok!Intro/outro music by There Will Be Fireworks, used with permission.
