Dr. James Dobson is a clinical psychologist, founder of Christian media empire Focus on the Family, a spiritual advisor to every Republican President since Reagan, and a paragon in the Evangelical Christian movement. And he's a massive dick. Join therapists Jake (a former Evangelical) and Brooke (who knows almost nothing about Evangelical culture) as they read and tear apart Dobson's works. Get ready to laugh, cry, and rip your hair out as we explore the very many reasons why I Hate James Dobson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 65: I Have Hate and Contempt For This Book

    We are so back, everyone. And this might be the episode that breaks Jake, or at least one where they find a new opp. Today, Jake and Brooke talk about the putrid publication "Love & Respect". It gets really dark and Jake "full Muppet" (their own description). This may be your favorite - or least favorite - episode, depending on how much of a masochist you are.

    Episode 64: James Dobson Wrote A Third Eugenics Novel That Isn't Nearly As Horny But Somehow That Makes It Worse

    This third and final novel puts Jake and Brooke's mental fortitude to the test. We finally get the answers to questions no one was asking, like "What happens to Kevin Tolbert?" (nothing) and "Will Matthew Adams finally face justice?" (kind of). All that and more in this episode.

    Episode 63: James Dobson wrote an Even Hornier Eugenics Novel

    We're unfortunately back, back, back, again with another Dobson novel. It's a sequel to his first novel, "Fatherless", and it's somehow even hornier than last time. It's also a poorly written mystery, and entirely ineffective social critique - all in 1! Wow!

    Episode 62: James Dobson Wrote a Horny Eugenics Novel

    I feel like the title really says it all on this one, folks. Dobson wrote a novel about eugenics. It's wildly horny. It's pretty bad. Jake and Brooke will tell you all about it - and also a lot about sandwiches. That's mostly unrelated.

    Episode 60: Joseph Nicolosi

    Happy Pride part 2! Today, Jake and Brooke dive back into the tragic world of Bringing Up Boys to talk about the rot under the hood. While they tear apart conversion therapy and its proponents, there are also big laughs and lots of silliness. The two genders.

    Episode 59: The John Paulk Story

    Happy Pride, Readers! This is an episode Jake has been waiting to make for a second now, so get ready as Jake and Brooke talk about the story of John Paulk, first told in Bringing up Boys and then re-examined 25 years later in the podcast "Atonement: The John Paulk Story". It's a story of pain, redemption, and c*nty letters from TV producers - it really is everything you'd want from a Pride episode.

    Episode 58: What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women

    Howdy ho, readers! On this episode, Jake and Brooke discuss the finale of the Focus on the Family Film series, a movie with a title so obnoxious it was one of the first running jokes of the blog: What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women. Brooke and Jake discuss the content, as well as just why Dobson is so bad at all of this. And now, we never have to talk about this terrible title ever again.
