Duggars & JCPenney
In this introductory episode, the process of opening up begins with a serious (and occasionally lighthearted) look at the journal's first entries. We discuss the first Duggar meeting as well as early indicators of struggle with Josh. Family bands, JCPenney catalogs, home church, and congregational confession are discussed.
The Trauma Machine
We react to Josh Duggar's bond hearing, continue reading journal entries, and break down how fundamentalism exploits the vulnerable in order to reserve power for a select few.
Shame & Betrayal
In a very personal episode, we unpack the impact of shame and self-punishment, recall how a friendship ended in betrayed trust, and discuss why the traumatic profiteering behind popular reality shows needs to end.
