"Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets" Miniseries Analysis

Shiny Happy People contributors and IBLP survivors Lindsey Williams and Chad Harris join Sadie and Gavi to give analysis and insight into their review of the new documentary miniseries exposé of the Duggar family, the IBLP, and Bill Gothard.


TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode includes discussions of MOST of these topics, so listener discretion is advised. The section of the episode that talks about this abuse in the greatest detail is from 0:50:00 to 1:09:15
