    Estrangement in Nazi Germany?

    Spanking on Christian Radio

    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.
