  • Witty dry dad jokes

    Dr Adam is in my top 3 reality tv review podcasters to listen to (and I listen to a lot of them). He’s been covering more content as time goes on and I’ve had the privilege of listening to his podcast since it began. He is intelligent, interesting, and most of all HILARIOUS. I listened to a podcast late one night after having a couple gummies and laughed my butt off the whole way through. Then listened to the same episode a couple days later (not on gummies) and still laughed the whole way throu... more

  • Dr. Adam offers a new perspective on some of my favorite reality TV shows - especially Sister Wives. He has a very calming voice and manages to be funny without being mean like most other recap shows. Unlike Kody's shirts - I give him a 10 out of 10!

  • Dr. Adam makes me feel good about myself

    Okay, I have never watched even one episode of any reality TV show in 51 years on this earth. But I am mildly obsessed with Mormonism, and also I think alternative relationship styles can offer a lot in our changing social cultures. So anyway, I started listening to this podcast and now it is one of my favorite times of the week. Dr. Adam is kind, funny, insightful, generous, occasionally a little spicy, and through it all is so accepting of human foibles that I end every episode with some insig... more
