I Hate James Dobson

Welcome back, readers, to another installment in everyone's least favorite Dobson work, the one that just won't end - The Strong-Willed Child. Today, Jake and Brooke watch Dobson's 2-part lectures on raising the so-called Strong-Willed Child and take a walk down memory (traumatic flashback) lane as they revist all the worst parts. However frustrated you are, just imagine how much moreso Brooke is at the thought of going back to this garbage pile of source material.

Break out your tie dye shirts and make sure your latch key kids have snacks in the fridge because today, Jake & Brooke travel back to the 1980s to discuss the life and legacy of Harold Morris - and how that legacy was coopted by James Dobson to... mixed results. We talk about prison, DARE, and Punky Brewster, among other salacious topics.

Hello! Welcome and welcome back! Today, Jake and Brooke discuss an early Dobson work, back when he was still a working psychologist. What a horrifying thought. There's time to talk about Freud, Middlemarch, and too many checklists.

Howdy readers! Today, Jake and Brooke start with an extra-exciting announcement: the launch of the official I Hate James Dobson Patreon! Then they get into less exciting things, like the rise of Christian Nationalism and so-called "counter-terrorism" directives. Important and interesting, but less exciting. This episode has it all!

Hi! Today, Jake and Brooke discuss one of Dobson's very first films "What Dads Need to Know About Fatherhood", a movie that is truly... nothing. At least we will always have Cats in the Cradle, I suppose. This is a silly one, readers.
