Sister Wives 5.5 - Mourning the Loss
2026/02/16
We say goodbye to Drake (a very good boy) and Meri, Leon, and Kody all process it in very different ways. Janelle is back in the gym with Sean.

The Sister Wives Professor(s) Faculty Book Club - "Breaking Free" by Rachel Jeffs
2026/02/13
Hello, subscribers! Amanda and I are ready to talk to you about Rachel Jeffs' harrowing memoir detailing her abuse and eventual escape from her father, Warren Jeffs, the FLDS cult, and a great deal more. Not an easy ready emotionally but a fascinating and important one. I know we both got a lot out of it and are ready and willing to discuss with you at length.
Interview with Meri & Jenn (Adam Goes to Birch School)
2026/02/11
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.

Sister Wives 5.4 - Polygamist Cults (W. Notes to Self 444)
2026/02/09
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.

Sister Wives 20.19 - One on One Part IV
2026/02/02
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!

Sister Wives Deep Dive #18 - Decoding Meri Brown Part III: Schrödinger's Cat(fish)
2026/02/01
Welcome, folks, to your new deep dive. One i've been working on behind the scenes for ages! The catfish situation. It's probably the most infamous "storyline" so to say of Sister Wives. And it's not a storyline. It's a very real situation that continues to impact Meri in various ways to this day. And I want to take an honest, kind, and thorough look at it. So I hope you enjoy this. It was admittedly an intense one to do, but I hope you find my take to be balanced enough.
Office Hours - You and I Will Live Forever
2026/01/30
Welcome to my office hours, everyone. I want to talk to you about art and immortality, and the need to never stop creating. To create without concern or without shame. It is, in a way, the closest thing to living forever we can possibly achieve. And we both are capable of it if we don't give up. So I hope you enjoy. I appreciate you.
Welcome to Plathville 3.6 - Is This a Date?

Sister Wives 20.18 - One on One Part III (W. Kara Berry of Everyone's Business but Mine)
2026/01/26
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. This was a joy. Listen to Everyone's Business but Mine! Check out Kara on Patreon!

Welcome, subscribers, to your independent study! Chosen by you all on this month's poll, it's an episode of Dark Side of the 90s focusing on my old love, the infomercial.

Sister Wives 20.17 - One on One Part II
2026/01/19
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.

The Sister Wives Professor(s) Faculty Book Club - Heated Rivalry
2026/01/16
Content warning: some frank discussion of portrayal of sex in television, nothing graphic, but it's mentioned. Okay, change of plans. Yes, we were going to cover another book. And we will. Next month. But we just finished Heated Rivalry, the tv series based on the popular series of books and we both wanted to talk about it while it's still fresh in everyone's minds. So yes, let's all discuss the gay hockey romance show that everyone is talking about. It'll be fun!
