Cassidy Krug and Thomas Brazzle share stories about the men whose brutal dominion over their lives shaped them fundamentally, and the long, complex reckoning that followed. Guest host Taj Easton holds both stories with warmth, honesty and just a touch of his own bitterness on the subject.

Great show! I pride myself on my authoritative parenting. However, as a teacher I vacillated between being authoritarian and passive. Having to deal with so many children at once took me out of my parenting element. But in hindsight I probably battled with this balance with my own children as well. It think it just felt different because my own children love me unconditionally and I love them more.
Another great episode, but Taj, dude..,you sound unhinged. 🙂 Loved LeCount’s story and appreciate you having his back!
Taj told admin: “Thank you so much, Bruce. Thank you for having my back for having LeCount’s back. And for having my back in noticing that I’d come almost completely and entirely undone on this particular day! Each day is a being-barely-hinged near miss!”
