Summary

Oh hey! It’s the final episode of our ‘ Daytime TV that raised us’ series, and today, we’re deep-diving Dr. Phil. A man so recognisable we can say his name and you’ll probably hear his voice, his trademark straight-talking advice. He was total ratings gold. He was also, perhaps unsurprisingly, an incredibly complicated character. This episode was researched by Eilish Gilligan and Chloe Wilson, and audio produced by Annabelle Lee.
