  • Can’t Stop Listening

    This is the first time I’ve ever started with episode one of a podcast and listened to the every episode in order! Every podcast is so compelling, inspiring, and wonderfully reasoned. Our children are our legacy and our greatest gifts; we should be doing everything in our power to protect them and ensure their flourishing.

  • Professor George

    Though I’ve known of Katy Faust and her passion and single-mindedness, I’ve often been intimidated. I’m lacking; I’ve fallen short; I’ve feel I’ve missed my time. But—no. She and this podcast are equipping. Professor George doubles down on the encouragement I’ve received. Thank you so very much.

  • Courage in the Evil War on Kids

    Each episode is an action to right a rotting sinking ship called The Family. Exposing the worst of porn industry and its grooming of innocent youngsters to please the abusers and rapists of children- that is the truth in the belly of porn-hub, about the most recent episode that raised my anger and shock, and admiration of the Supreme Court Brief these authors wrote and submitted. I am a mom, teacher, and follower of this podcast. Every law-abiding and family loving American should listen and the... more

  • Everyone needs to listen to this podcast!!!

    Absolutely love this movement to put the rights of children before adults. It is imperative that we defend those who cannot defend themselves (i.e children) and that truth could not be more clear in this podcast. It has totally made me rethink IVF, adoption, divorce etc. and changed my perspective in so many other ways. Keep it up “Them Before Us” and change the world!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Them Before Us #100 | Making Fertility Fraud a Felony & Retaking the Arts
Q: What are the big elements of the fertility fraud bill that passed?
The bill makes fertility fraud a Class 5 felony for providers, allows civil actions by victims, and extends the statute of limitations to accommodate late discoveries of fraud while enabling government prosecution.
Them Before Us #100 | Making Fertility Fraud a Felony & Retaking the Arts
Q: What is Appropriations and why is it important?
She describes Appropriations as the budgeting arm of government, the committee that taught her how government runs and how to right-size it through work groups.
Them Before Us #100 | Making Fertility Fraud a Felony & Retaking the Arts
Q: Why did you decide to run for your state legislature in South Dakota?
Representative Jorgenson explains a long history in politics, initial reluctance, a late call to run, and the personal motivation of serving with faith and commitment to pro-life and traditional values.
Them Before Us Podcast #099 | Katy Talento Talks Trump and how to Life Hack the Healthcare System
Q: You've spoken publicly about infertility and your fertility journey. What did you learn from that experience that could help others facing similar challenges?
Labels from the medical system can profoundly affect outcomes; addressing lifestyle factors like circadian rhythm, sleep, stress, and nutrition can be foundational. Empowering women with holistic, proactive approaches and questioning default medical pathways can open alternative, effective routes.
Them Before Us Podcast #099 | Katy Talento Talks Trump and how to Life Hack the Healthcare System
Q: What was your experience like inside the Trump administration, and how did your perspective on health policy evolve during and after that period?
I valued the outsider perspective that Trump brought, which challenged established norms in Washington. Over time, I saw how budget processes and regulatory approaches shifted, reinforcing the importance of reforming both policy and the institutions that implement it.
