What is Wife Approved with Shane & Caroline?

Marriage. Family. Tech that sometimes works.
Welcome to Wife Approved — a podcast from Shane & Caroline Whatley that gives you a real look inside their smart home and family life. One’s a tech-obsessed YouTuber. The other just wants the lights to turn on without yelling at Siri. From parenting chaos and marriage laughs to automations that cause more fights than fixes, this show is all about finding the humor (and help) in everyday life with tech. Real talk. Real marriage. Mostly functional Wi-Fi.
