Life After MLM

Some of these reviews are so unnecessarily mean and harsh! I think this podcast is great and Roberta is a very compassionate host. She has said on the show that comments she got from listeners about her interrupting people are what led to her eventually getting a diagnosis for ADHD, so she is very aware and clearly takes feedback seriously from listeners. Some of these people are impossible to please lol

Not only is this fascinating show chock-full of great guests and interesting facts, the host is compassionate, nonjudgemental and supportive of all these unfortunate folks who have been ensnared by cults and MLM. I can’t get enough of it.

I enjoy listening to all the light hearted episodes and have been so surprised learning so much about all the MLMs and realizing I was sucked into joining a lot of online parties during lockdown haha! Roberta is really good at giving content warnings so I know when I should skip.

Roberta, I love what you’re trying to do here, but please give your guest more airtime. I want to better understand their interior lives (have them expand on what they were thinking and feeling as things unfolded), their motivations for doing what they’re doing, and their timeline (eg have them walk us through what happened, without your constant interruptions and repeating what they just said). It is not helpful when you just repeat what they say and then go on a long ramble. I have to skip past your rambling. Your topics and guests are interesting. Please give your guests more space.
