Summary
This week, Kate finally digs into the Duggar world after finding the Prime Video documentary Shiny Happy People particularly riveting/alarming, and explores topics adjacent to the crimes, controversy, and cultural relevance of the family, along with the connections of the IBLP to homeschooling and extensive political pipelines designed to infiltrate positions of power with individuals groomed with fundamentalist beliefs. Kate discusses her taste in reality tv, her history with TLC programming, researches a little more about wisdom booklet teachings, briefly spirals about the "He Gets Us" Super Bowl campaign/Hobby Lobby CEO, and shares some of her own POV regarding the glorifying of religious authority and how it mimics abusive dynamics.
TWs: SA, CSAM, religious trauma, among other horrifying topics. Please only listen if you’ve watched the doc and are familiar with the subject matter.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody, welcome back to the Be There In Five Podcast. |
| 0:13.4 | I'm Kate Kennedy, your host. |
| 0:15.2 | Be There In Five is a long form on purpose, mostly solo hosted pop culture podcast. |
| 0:20.4 | I've been doing for about five years. |
| 0:22.2 | And why I say pop culture, I'm much more interested in covering elements of our popular |
| 0:27.3 | culture that are kind of more zyte guisties, specific to millennials. |
| 0:30.3 | I don't really like the normal entertainment celebrity news we cover, but kind of lifestyle |
| 0:35.5 | elements of our existence, the iconography of our time, whether we're doing something |
| 0:41.5 | nostalgic or we are diving into elements of millennial culture that I don't always |
| 0:45.5 | think are associated with us, like purity culture, for example, which we'll touch on |
| 0:49.3 | today. |
| 0:50.3 | So over time, I've explored a lot of topics I think are relevant to today's, but the |
| 0:54.0 | specific family and show is a piece of popular culture that was a bit of a blind spot |
| 0:58.3 | for me, admittedly, kind of like Game of Thrones or Harry Potter. |
| 1:01.6 | Like something I just too much time had passed and I hadn't ever gotten into and I just felt |
| 1:05.4 | like I, it was too much and I didn't even know where to begin. |
| 1:08.9 | But the Duggaverse, I became considerably less interested when it got so dark and criminal |
| 1:14.0 | and stuff was pulled off the air that I didn't like want to support it. |
| 1:16.7 | However, a really interesting documentary, I'm probably a video just came out called |
| 1:20.4 | Shiny Happy People and it was so compelling, so well done and I wanted to talk about it |
| 1:24.8 | today and kind of do a makeshift digging deeper of the Duggaverse that I've avoided doing |
| 1:30.1 | for so long. |
