  • Meri stan podcast

    I used to enjoy the pod but since Meri has been in contact with the host and has been interviewed, there’s now a very clear bias. What I used to enjoy about the pod was it was more of an impartial view and general assessment of the cast. Now, it’s just praising and excusing every single thing Meri does and I’m not here for it.

  • Monotonus

    This particular podcast falls disappointingly flat, succumbing to a tedious, pedantic crawl that manages to drain every ounce of intrigue from its subject matter.

  • Couldn’t love this podcast more!

    Dr Adam brings humor, kindness, intelligence and Yelp to bear on the humanity that is the Brown family and other reality TV families. Along the way, listeners are treated to communications theory, cow jokes, and encouragement from a unique and warm and very smart podcaster and real life academic. 10 out of 10. No notes.
