Shocking! Lurid! Tawdry! A History of American Scandals

That Time Gwen Shamblin Invented Portion Control and a New Church


Listen Later

There's a fad diet. There's Christianity used as a weapon. There's a murder conviction. And there's big hair. Really big hair.  That's just three episodes of HBO Max's new documentary series The Way Down, about Gwen Shamblin, her Christian diet The Weigh Down, and the church she founded, the Remnant Fellowship. And somehow, Kasey Howe and Mark Peikert don't think three episodes is enough! 

Join them as they discuss the brand-new show, it's shocking revelations, and just why Gwen's ethos is so singularly Southern.
