A spotless living room, a perfect bow on every problem, and a smile that never cracks—early TV taught us that’s what family looks like. Then the 70s kicked the door open. We trade tidy myths for the glorious mess of All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore, MASH, Good Times, and the gleeful chaos of The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. By the end, we answer a simple question with layered truth: did those shows make us feel norma...
It's Thankful Sunday. The heart of the episode beats in our thank-yous. Moving states takes stamina, and we spotlight the people who made it happen: southern Utah’s Sonya Stauffer and Northeast Ohio–Pennsylvania’s Malinda Koncar, two realtors who navigated details, deadlines, and the unexpected with calm and care. We also shout out Letters by Lantern Light for bringing weekly cozy mysteries to our community, proving...
Ever look at a deli case and wonder who actually buys that speckled mystery loaf? We’re taking a no-filter tour through the “dysfunctional” foods that fed our families and shaped our taste buds: the buttermilk sipped straight from a glass, the kombucha and kefir bubbling like science projects, and the deli counter icon we love to fear—Dutch loaf. From pig’s feet in jars to scrapple fried to a perfect sear, we explore why...

Freeze outside, warm up inside. We take Valentine’s Day back from the crowded prix fixe grind and rebuild it around ease, laughter, and real connection. From indoor picnics on a blanket to a surprisingly perfect date at a local cooking school, we share practical ways to skip the chaos and keep all the romance. If you’ve been burned by limited menus, rushed service, and too-loud dining rooms, this is your permission slip ...
What if the place you grew up quietly shaped your quirks, your coping skills, and even the stories you tell about yourself? We dig into city stress, country isolation, and suburban conformity with candid personal stories that reveal how environment becomes behavior. From food deserts and limited green space to long rural bus rides and stained uniforms from well water, we unpack how daily conditions nudge us toward adapta...
Hello February! Junkies you know what that means, a new month, a new Dysfunction Junkies CARE. This month we are supporting the American Heart Association. Since the American Heart Association was founded in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. But heart disease remains the leading cause of death, and there's still so much more to do. Together, we can save more lives. And for our Interna...
What if your first serious love is still influencing how you fight, forgive, and choose today? We dig into the invisible blueprints early relationships leave behind, the “reason, season, lifetime” lens that reframes past marriages, and the messy, beautiful work of rewriting patterns with intention. Along the way, a long-lost box of wedding photos turns into a masterclass in boundaries and closure: how to honor the past, ...
New pins on the map, new stories to tell, and a big life change that’s about to shake up our routine—in the best way. We kick off Thankful Sunday by shouting out a wave of new listeners from Germany to Japan, plus fresh U.S. cities that found the Dysfunction Junkies and hit play. Japan rocketed into our top four overnight, and we unpack why a sudden binge listen can reshape a show’s momentum, energy, and plans for what c...

A new year calls for grounded action, not just good intentions. This month for Junkies Care we’re shining a light on Samaritan’s Purse—an international relief nonprofit known for getting to crises fast and staying long enough to help families rebuild.

Confetti says “big night,” but our hearts often want something smaller, saner, and kinder. If you’ve ever felt out of step with the countdown culture, you’re not alone. Come for the candid stories, stay for the better ideas: lower-pressure plans, safer choices, and rituals that make the night yours. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a softer New Year, and leave a review to help others f...
It's Flashback Friday. We flashback to Big Bertha and the 7 Fishes episode. The sparkle fades, the lights glare, and the house suddenly feels too quiet—so we leaned into the holiday afterglow and compared notes on what actually makes this season work. We kick off with the mood on December 26 and the great decoration debate: keep the glow through New Year’s or pack it up fast and reclaim the living room. From there ...
Snow, lights, cookies… and questions we usually avoid. We pull back the tinsel to explore how the Santa story shapes trust, behavior, and values, and why so many of us remember the joy of belief but not the awkward in-between. The conversation gets real, candid, and funny as we test which parts of the myth build wonder—and which parts quietly train compliance.
Things turn intriguingly dark when we uncover Père Fouettard, ...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
