    Minisode: Joseph Duggar's Arrest

    We didn't want to do more episodes on the Duggars. Truly. It would mean they've just faded away. But, here we are. Joseph Duggar was arrested. Let's talk about what happened and what's next. Please note: Of course, more things happened between recording and posting. I'll do my best to record a mini-minisode with those updates and post soon! Please note again: My sound probably isn't amazing. I recorded in an echo-y room while hiding under a sweater. Sorry! Check out our YouTube channel, Fixate Today: Grey Matters
