  • Absolutely nice, but…

    Very nice and interesting podcast. Maybe a little less personal talks and innuendos between T and W would have made it really perfect.

  • I found my people!

    This is my current favorite podcast. I found it a few years ago because my brother was an IBLP cult member. Whitney and Tim discuss all situations with grace and realistic views. They have compassion for people stuck in ugly situations. Everything is discussed with humor, random memories, and fandoms from their own lives. Keep up the amazing work!

    Listening to Digging Up the Duggars is such a highlight of my week. I grew up IBLP-adjacent and there is no greater joy than listening to these two people trash talk all the horrible beliefs I was raised with. The amount of dedication and hard work Whitney gives this show is unmatched. I really can’t say enough good things about this. I love the long episodes, how they’re formatted, and the chemistry these two share. Hearing them explain their inside jokes and life stories makes you feel like yo... more

  • IBLP and cats? Don’t mind if I do! (And Simpsons references)

    I love how much content there is in this podcast for people who have a morbid curiosity about IBLP/evangelicalism/quiverfull. At the risk of sounding like a parasocial weirdo I love these guys and wish we could arrange a play date for our cats.
