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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thesisterwivesprofessor/support
