In a new episode of her and husband Zach Roloff's podcast Raising Heights, the former reality stars opened up about what it was really like behind the scenes of their family's TLC show, and how they were not encouraged to connect with other reality stars at the network.

"I don't think TLC wanted the talent to be mingling," Tori, 33, claimed during the Thursday, Jan. 23 episode of the couple's podcast. "I don't think they wanted the talent to talk to each other."

"And honestly I see why," she added.

After appearing on Little People, Big World since Season 10, Tori and Zach ultimately decided to leave the show, making their last appearance in the Season 25 finale.

During their conversation, Tori and Zach also mentioned fellow TLC alum Jinger Duggar Vuolo who grew up on her family's reality series, 19 Kids & Counting. Tori and Zach only recently crossed paths with Jinger and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, when they met in person for the first time earlier this month.

"TLC was probably scared," Tori suggested during the recent podcast episode, while Zach, 34, seemingly agreed, adding, "We weren't all like unionized. Reality TV wasn't unionized."

"We talked a little bit about that with [Jinger and Jeremy] and how that would have been nice to have that communication with somebody else that was doing the same thing you were doing," Tori stated.

"But we had a great time," she added of the pair's hangout with Jinger and Jeremy, calling them "some great people."
