Loving this podcast!

I just found this pod, and I’m really enjoying it. Sam & Melissa seem so kind, and have interesting insights into a world most of us only see from reality tv. Thank you - keep up the great work.

Great duo

Melissa and Sam compliment each other really well. I always enjoy the podcasts they release. I really love the episodes of Sam’s life as a son of a polygamist.

Great Podcast!

I am a longtime fan of the show, “Sister Wives” and as such, listen to many podcasts on the topic. This is one of my new favorites! I love the firsthand knowledge that the hosts share. I also love the direct yet empathetic lens that they use. It’s honest without being mean spirited just for the sake of it. Please keep the content coming! I love to hear your take on all things “TLC Sister Wives”!

Love the Variety and approach!

What a wonderful couple! Love how they explain the religious aspect without being threatening to anyone. Very informative. Love learning about Sam’s past, hearing reaction videos, and getting the tea on sister wives.

Love this podcast

One of my favorite podcasts and couple to follow on YouTube! Very informative, educational and entertaining
Fru$trated!

Ooooffffff

I really *REALLLLLLLLY* wanted to slime this podcast after hearing this couple on Dr. John Dehlin’s Mormon Stories podcast…but there is sadly a real lack of insight, a lack of intellectualism, a lack of relevance. They talk about old episodes of Sister Wives and old recording of Warren Jeffs in jail as if these are new things to discuss. I like these two young people a LOT!!!!!!!! I just think they have more to offer than what they are doing.
