  • Fast-forward 20 minutes!

    Concept is good for this pod, but between Mr. F and the scattered intro talk this pod doesn’t start usually till about mark 20, Male host add nothing. Why do you have him on?

  • Dedication

    Roberta’s dedication to helping others not just come out of mlms but the emotional support that nobody can relate to that haven’t experienced the “life reset” upon the departure of these groups deserves praise. Well done Roberta.

  • Let the guest talk!

    I listened to an episode about ACN and I was really looking forward to hearing his story. But the host constantly interrupts him! I was hitting the skip 30 second button every time she chimed in, sometimes multiple times! I’m debating about whether I should listen to part two. I don’t dislike her but her constant commentary was so unnecessary! Let your guest tell his story!!

  • Listening since the beginning, but getting tired of non mlm content.

    When Roberta talks about MLMs, she is amazing. Lately the content has been all over the place, and mostly about cults. While I love culty podcasts, this isn’t Roberta’s strength or why I tune in. I wish she’d get back to her original focus or rebrand. This isn’t really an MLM podcast anymore. And yes, the Mr. F banter drives me nuts.

  • Who is this guy?

    Newbie here. I like the core of the episodes. I thought I was being a jerk, but I see literally no one cares about the banter looking at the reviews. "MR F" is absolutely cringe. A short update intro is fine, but a 20 minute banter, babe I'm skipping that every single time. The one time I did listen to an episode with this guy in it, I wanted to throw my phone it was SO bad and he derailed the entire episode. It could have been good, but he's so off base and completely ruined the flow.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 337 : MLM Mini Dive : LifeWave
Q: So we're going to be talking about LifeWave patches today. What do you think their patches actually do?

Episode 329 : Cathy Callahan
Q: If you had a magic wand, what would you change to make MLM a safer place?
Teach people how to make money and provide better business plans; help them understand what they really get into.

Q: What is the hardest lesson that you learned in your 13, 14 years here with the Twelve Tribes?
