TW: Holocaust denial, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny, religious trauma

DL took some time during their estrangement story to do a deep dive into the intergenerational aftermath of Nazi Germany, and how younger generations talked with their parents about their support of Hitler -- plus, a run down of what seems to be driving estrangement in the US among adult children and their religious, conservative parents.

TW/CW: physical abuse, corporal punishment, emotionally abusive caretaker

Krispin & DL discuss the second part of the the Adventures in Odyssey episode, a follow up to our podcast episode Spanking on Christian Radio released last fall.

This Adventure's in Odyssey episode focuses on Mr. Whitaker’s troubled relationship with his adult daughter. Honestly, we couldn’t have written an episode that is so perfect at describing what it is like to try and be in relationship with religious authoritarian parents if we tried.

TW/CW: physical abuse, emotionally abusive/aggressive caretaker, sexual abuse, animal/pet death.

Krispin & DL discuss a Christian radio drama about spanking/corporal punishment. We're digging into an episode of Adventures in Odyssey (produced & distributed by James Dobson's organization, Focus on the Family) from 1988 that talked about why it was so important.

We're discussing "A Member of the Family Part 1" which debuted in the early years of the program, talking about the importance of spanking. Even if you didn't grow up listening to this radio show, it's an important look into how spanking was practiced and the emotional dynamics surrounding it.
