| 6/22/26 |  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.

| 6/8/26 |  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.

| 5/25/26 |  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.Check out our Patreon! www.patreon.com/ihatejamesdobsonMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetterLicense code: 9OT2MTBHWWSRZP5S Hosted on Acast.

| 5/11/26 |  Episode 57: Preparing for Adolesence | Hi there readers! Ready to hear James Dobson talk about the birds and the bees? No? Too bad, that's what today's episode is. Jake and Brooke (and very special guest Josh Boerman from The Worst of All Possible Worlds) to talk about the next two videos in Dobson's classic "Focus on the Family" film series.

| 4/27/26 |  Episode 56: The Strong-Willed Child Part 4 | Hi! Today, Jake and Brooke conclude their conversations on "The Strong-Willed Child" a series that feels like it's been going on since these books were first published. They talk about the 2004 reprint, how Dobson's views did (not) evolve over time, and what the legacy of this collection of trash has meant for so many.

| 4/13/26 |  Episode 55: The Strong-Willed Child Part 3 | 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.Check out our Patreon! www.patreon.com/ihatejamesdobsonReferences:n.a.
