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. Thanks to everyone who asked me something! More stuff soon!

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.

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. Enjoy this podcast early and ad-free, along with monthly bonus podcasts ⁠⁠⁠⁠on Patreon or the Faculty Lounge on Apple Podcasts!

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.

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.

Well, well, well, look who wants to make amends. Kody decides to soft-launch an apology tour, but his communication shows he's much more dependent on Robyn's approval than he'd admit. In the same vein, Robyn accidentally reveals some of how she directs Kody. Fascinating. Meanwhile, Meri, Christine, and Janelle are all having fun in their own ways with friends and family. Quite a contrast. 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!

You wanted it, you got it, but I needed a little help from some pals of mine. This tell-all is indeed a unique point in the history of this show and I had honestly forgotten how intense it got! I am lucky enough to be joined by the ladies from Little Miss Recap to get their thoughts as well on what proves to be an explosive reunion and tell-all where old faces return, and there are many interactions you may not expect.

We're kicking off Season 5 as we await the beginning of Season 20! And the Browns are making big moves to buy some very big houses. However, the ghost of Robyn's past (debt) is a major issue and the way she chooses to communicatively frame it is one of the most controversial points in the history of the show.
