Extras - Keep Sweet (Discovery +) Documentary Reaction
Hi all
I am taking a week off due to a summer course i'm teaching. I wanted to give you something to listen to, so here is an unreleased podcast I recorded for the old patreon.
I review and mostly react to the Discovery + documentary "Keep Sweet." It discusses the FLDS community in Short Creek, Warren Jeffs, and a lot more.
I hope you enjoy. I will be back with more next week.

Seeking Sister Wife 2.8 - Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Bernie and Brandy go on a date, and Paige is heartbroken. Vanessa's sisters seem to warm up to the Snowdens... slightly? And Jeff Aldrege does some detective work to confirm what we all knew several episodes ago. Zones of space, expectation vs. reality, and poor communication skills all over the place as Dr. Adam unpacks a pretty darn dense episode of the show.

Customer Reviews
New perspectives
Dr. Adam has such a calm and soothing voice. He brings a very interesting perspective on the family dynamics and I have learned a lot of things related to family communication and interactions from his academic perspective and explanations. I love a snarky Sister Wives podcast-but I am equally enjoying this one with his input on the family delivered with kindness and minimal snark (along with goofy dad jokes).
Enjoy it
Peaceful pleasant but if you’re going to cover Plathville ya gotta learn to say CAYro Georgia 😂
The Sister Wives Recap You NEED In Your Life
What I like: Dr. Adam really breaks down the verbal and non-verbal cues and body language that the Browns display. He is respectful of pronouns and doesn’t misgender anyone. It’s a great psychological insight and recap podcast for the whole family. What I don’t like: The podcast could be longer. That Dr. Adam signs off with, “More importantly than any of that, I am your friend.” We’re not friends. I can’t come to you with my joys and concerns. We don’t bond over life experiences. I listen to the podcast you make, Dr. Adam. Don’t state a relationship when there isn’t one. Update: Dr. Adam no longer signs off with the friend comment above. I’m a fan of the new closing. Other reviewers have asked why he covers the Look Backs but is on season 2 in the reviews. Because he has just started the podcast. Give him time to get to season 18, if the podcast lasts that long. Update 2: Now with ads. I get it. But, it makes me sad. :(
