The Salty Hoes
The Salty Hoes Podcast dives headfirst into the messy, brilliant, and often hilarious real lives of ex‑Mormon ex‑wives. With sharp minds, sharper wit, and zero interest in reverence, the Salty Hoes, Mel & Claire, unpack the cultural quirks, psychological twists, and unexpected freedoms that come with rewriting your life from scratch.
Wade through the emotional debris of living as an ex-Mormon in Utah, and midlife dating with a boldness that says “therapy helped, but not enough to stop this.”
It’s incisive, unfiltered, thoughtful, and irreverent. Join the Salty Hoes for a fun, feral, and engaging exploration of all things salty and real.
