We're taking it allll the way back to the very first Discovery special. A rewatch for me (Whitney) and a side-eyed first watch for me (Tim). In light of some...uh...legal happenings, we look back from the beginnings of this saga to catch the cringe, the red flags, and the tater tot casserole.

At the Tater Tot Mansion, it’s the final weigh i... more
We all know Lego Hair is the epitome of buffoonery and incompetence, but he is in rare form in this episode. Even Cannon pulled out her rare, high pitched annoyed voice.

I’m obsessed. Having grown up Gothard adjacent I know plenty of horror stories. The deep digs are fascinating. I’m also a trauma therapist and have clients who grew up in ATI/IBLP. The info in the deep digs helps me better understand the nuances of growing up in the Billy G cult. Thanks for all your hard work!
This podcast is an absolute delight. The hosts are entertaining, warm, exceptionally fluid speaker with a natural conversational style that makes every episode feel like spending time with two incredibly thoughtful funny friends. Their rapport as a couple is one of the podcasts strengths. Their affection comes through in their banter and mutual respect, plus an abundance of inside jokes and love for the mowcat, Mildred. Their conversations always feel spontaneous and even when they veer into unc... more
I just started back at the beginning listening to these. Well researched. I never really watched this show and still found this fascinating.
I’m rating it lower because the absolute glee over poor prison conditions is disgusting. No one deserves to be trapped in a prison in Texas without ac regardless of what they have done. Do better.
Just by the title of this podcast, you know you are in for a wild ride. This podcast is fun to listen to around the house doing things or in a car stuck in traffic.
Lays bare the behind the scenes stuff and how the Duggars have tried to sweep it all under the rug, to no avail.
And with Joseph now being arrested for lewd and lascivious conduct, it becomes impossible to hide anymore.
I’ve been fascinated with the Duggars forever, but not fascinated enough to do what the host does. Every episode has a lot(a lot!) of research and background. Events are put into context and timelines to fully explain the family issues. Highly recommend.
