February 09, 2026 Sister Wives 5.4 - Polygamist Cults (W. Notes to Self 444)
We're back to season 5, folks, and i'm tagging in some help.

I'll be honest, I was planning on taking a break from collaborations for a bit, but then this episode was a struggle for me right away. The Brown teenagers (or a few of them) go to meet with and help Holding out Help, the organization that helps former polygamists and cult members escape and establish their new lives.

Well, we all know a lot more about these things than we did when this first aired. So Melanie and Cory of Notes to Self 444 (themselves former members of the Browns' sect the AUB) were kind enough to come on and help me understand what's all going on beneath the surface here.

To me it's the most enlightening podcast i've ever done, thanks to them, so I hope you enjoy.

February 02, 2026 Sister Wives 20.19 - One on One Part IV
Season finale! And this was my favorite one-on-one or whatever, uh, ever? Also, if you like angry Adam this one is for you.

But we get into the catfishing! How Robyn knew someone who KNEW the catfish! We talk about Ron, thank GOD. Nothing is Kody's fault, and I read him the riot act over it. Meanwhile - why does Kody dislike Jenn, the world's best friend? I will tell you all about it.

January 28, 2026 Welcome to Plathville 3.6 - Is This a Date?
Olivia and Ethan are falling apart as Olivia goes to therapy. Max (who sucks) is absolutely horrible and I lose my mind. All that and more as the Plath family does what they do, and Moriah gets her big break, kind of!

January 26, 2026 Sister Wives 20.18 - One on One Part III (W. Kara Berry of Everyone's Business but Mine)
Well my goodness, this is so fun. I was joined by Kara Berry of Everyone's Business but Mine to talk the penultimate episode of season 20 of Sister Wives!
We talk about Robyn's anger, David's... red flags, frankly, and especially the choice to try to get married on Meri's birthday. Oh, and we troll Robyn's instagram comments at the end and I nearly pass out from laughter. This was a joy.

January 19, 2026 Sister Wives 20.17 - One on One Part II
Business is picking up! David is mad! Robyn is even more mad! Meri is steady, and Suki brings a lot more heat and pointed questions to the Browns and former Browns. This was a great episode in my opinion and I can't wait to hear what you think.

Welcome to Plathville will be back next week, but I had the chance to talk to Melanie and Cory of Notes to Self 444 about any number of things, including their first-hand experiences with the AUB - the same cult that brought us the Brown family.

January 13, 2026 A Conversation with Sukanya Krishnan about Sister Wives, Celebrity Crushes, and Waking up Early on Purpose
Yeah, so this has been in the works for a while, and it happened. I was able to talk to Sukanya Krishnan about all kinds of Sister Wives and non-Sister Wives stuff.

The art of interviewing, the prep she has to do prior to filming the tell-alls, her dynamic with Kody, and who is the hardest cast member to interview?

Plus, I quiz her on her childhood crush, comfort food, and her entire career. It was way fun (and surreal!) to talk to her, and I hope you all enjoy it.

Just in case anyone's curious, yes this was sanctioned by TLC and so yeah, I did try to keep it very fair and respectful of her time and what she can and can't talk about. Which I was happy to do. But I did want to mention it.

Enjoy!

January 12, 2026 Sister Wives 20.16 - One on One Part I
Welcome... to the beginning of the end? Of season 20 at least. Which I did not realize until now. OOPS.

Sukanya is back! And so are the Browns and former Browns as we start the painful and delightful process of unpacking what on earth we all just spent several months watching. I'm so happy.
