Shiny Happy People: Was Bill Gothard A Cult Leader? (#202)

In episode three of the Shiny Happy People series, the story turns from the general teachings of the Institute for Basic Life Principles to more specific instances of power and abuse, such as unpaid labor from the Duggar children and Bill Gothard's grooming of sexual assault victims. Dan and Mark offer their own PSAs on cults, “brainwashing,” and the difficulty of accurately assuming individual motivations. 

PATREON EXCLUSIVE EPISODE:

Dan and Mark go on to discuss who should take responsibility for power abuses like those that resulted from IBLP, as well as themes of celebrity and being a public person. Can we truly diversify heroes and role models? Join Patreon to hear more!
