It's CULTOBER and TSFU Presents the new season, "The New F Word"!

"The New F Word" is a sort of hybrid between "TSFU Presents" and "Binge or Bust?", where Ash and co-host Fallon Morey watch and discuss the Amazon Prime docuseries, "Shiny Happy People", about the Duggar family, their TLC show "16, 17, etc. Kids and Counting", the charismatic leader that they follow, Bill Gothard (a Fundamentalist Christian, aka "Fundie", minster), Christian Fundamentalism and so much more. They also identify sub topics in the doc to look deeper into such as the abuse of women and children in the IBLP (The Institute of Basic Life Principals, run by Bill Gothard), the modern day "freak show" that the TLC network is and the homeschooled Joshua Generation that's being indoctrinated to take over the world. But first...

In today's episode Ash and Fallon talk with ex-IBLP survivor Lindsey Williams, an expert makeup artist heavily featured in the Shiny Happy People documentary. The gals talk about various Christian fundamentalist influencers such as problematic YouTubers Paul and Morgan Olliges and Bethany Beal and Kristen Clark from Girl Defined. They also talk about Instagram influencer Lori Alexander aka "The Transformed Wife" and the Tradwife movement.
