UH, SURPRISE AGAIN.It's kind of a long story? But I tell it in the podcast. I was able to sit down and talk to Meri Brown and Jenn Sullivan. We talked about a lot of stuff! How did Jenn end up being featured on the show? What is the biggest misconception folks still have about Meri? How does Jenn feel about being on the one-on-ones? How does Meri eat her celery? Does Adam become an honorary Salty Birch?And I drop a Ron pun to Meri Brown's face, my crowning achievement.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.

We're back to season 5, folks, and i'm tagging in some help.I'll be honest, I was planning on taking a break from collaborations for a bit, but then this episode was a struggle for me right away. The Brown teenagers (or a few of them) go to meet with and help Holding out Help, the organization that helps former polygamists and cult members escape and establish their new lives.Well, we all know a lot more about these things than we did when this first aired. So Melanie and Cory of Notes to Self 444 (themselves former members of the Browns' sect the AUB) were kind enough to come on and help me understand what's all going on beneath the surface here.To me it's the most enlightening podcast i've ever done, thanks to them, so I hope you enjoy.Notes to Self on Youtube.Notes to Self on TikTok.Notes to Self on Instagram.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! 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? I will tell you all about it.Listent to my wife's new podcast Bookish University!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.

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.
