Hi folks!
A few weeks ago I was able to sit down and discuss all things Sister Wives, podcasting, and even some pandemic stories with Amanda Lipnack-Radel of Little Miss Recap, Amanda's Coaching Corner, and more.
We cover some reactions to Season 19, Little Miss Recap, and I have her both predict the future of the Brown family and do some word association. It was a very, very fun conversation and i'm so glad you get to hear it.

As a one-off bonus (?), Dr. Adam is joined by Dr. K, a fellow communication professor and someone personally familiar with polyamory, to discuss the first-ever episode of TLC's Polyfamily.
How does Polyfamily represent polyamory in the eyes of someone who is both an academic and a consensual non-monogamist? How do the professors read Sean and Tyler's cold-war parenting conflict? And just... just what is going on here? Lets all find out together.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLE!
Kody finally gets his boys' night out, including the beginning of his remarkable pattern of befriending his wives' personal trainers.
Meanwhile, the wives (and Kody) purchase furniture for Solomon's nursery, and the wives (without Kody) move and build it.
In all seriousness, there's some interesting insights into Kody's dynamic with men, athletics, and his past that genuinely surprised me in a good way, so I hope you enjoy.
Plus - a Jeff Aldrege cameo! Just what you asked for, no one!

Meanwhile, Kody is left alone with all the kids, and that goes about as well as it usually does.
Dayton does homework! And Dr. Adam, for one, is proud of him.
