*** Trigger Warnings Apply ***  The American Academy of Pediatrics officially condemns spanking, and Kieryn and Hännah discuss this news and their experiences with spanking and with parenting books by James Dobson, the Pearls, and the Ezzos.

Episode 17: Spanking

Kitchen Table Cult unpacks all the things Kieryn and Eve learned at the kitchen tables of their childhoods in conservative Christian homeschooling families. Every week we take your questions and drill down on various topics about Quiverfull, the Religious Right, and our childhoods in high-demand groups (otherwise known as cults). We’re not surprised about the rise of Trump, Christian fascism, or evangelical white women voting for someone like Mike Pence, and we want to take you back through the beginning of it all to explain why.
