  • Great Podcast!

    Love this podcast. As a Sister Wives junkie, I love Dr. Adam’s analysis on current episodes and especially on the rewatch episodes knowing what we know now. Great voice and very kind, even when calling out all the bad behaviour. And pretty funny too! Great collabs with other podcasters shows a real generosity of spirit. The Bob Ross of podcasters! Rock on Dr. Adam! -from a Canadian fan
