In this podcast episode, Dave, a recurring guest, and former voice actor for the character Jimmy Barkley in the children's radio program 'Adventures in Odyssey,' reflects on his experiences and the legacy of his work. The conversation touches on the impact of James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, and the role the organization played in shaping Christian nationalism. Dave talks about his complicated feelings towards his contributions to the show, his mental health struggles, and the manipulative use of children as propaganda tools in a system that perpetuates harmful ideologies. He also notes the broader societal implications of these practices, including the rise of Christian nationalism in American politics. The discussion concludes with reflections on personal responsibility, the effects of systemic abuse, and hopes for a better future.
