104: Taylor Frankie Paul & The Cost of Reality TV

Is this reality tv... or are we watching real people's lives unravel in front of us.In conversation, we tackle:  The storyline that somehow includes assault charges, a leaked body cam video, AND a Bachelorette casting (all at once??)   The codependent dynamic between Taylor and Dakota—and how “you regulate me, I regulate you” turns into emotional quicksand   The part of the body cam video everyone’s skipping: why was he filming instead of removing the child?   “If she just meets a better man, she’ll be fine” (aka the most dangerous relationship myth baked into Mormon culture)   Watching a 22-year-old become a reality TV product—and why this feels way closer to child star exploitation than Housewives drama   The real issue: none of these women are stable enough to consent to this level of exposure… and production knows it If you’d like to support the show one of the best things you can do is leave us a review and share the pod!
