Dr. Dobson: The Man Behind the Mic by Dr. James Dobson

August 25-26, 2025
Guest: Chris Fabry

Part 1
As a mainstay on Christian radio for nearly 50 years, Dr. James Dobson interviewed numerous guests, including presidents, evangelists, counselors, and authors. But on today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Chris Fabry turns the mic on Dr. Dobson and asks questions of America’s most trusted child psychologist. You’ll discover why he chose radio over TV, what drew him to an interview-style program, and his greatest accomplishments. He also shares the story of his conversion at the tender age of four, along with the power of tears and laughter on radio, and his unchanging message grounded in Christ. Join us as we continue honoring the legacy of the man behind the microphone on Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk

Part 2
The Lord has used Dr. James Dobson to help parents dare to discipline, take on their strong-willed child, bring up boys and girls according to biblical principles, and manage the heart when love must be tough. But on today’s special edition of Family Talk, radio host Chris Fabry turns the table and interviews Dr. Dobson. We learn how he regrets not having had the opportunity to interview Francis Schaeffer or Billy Graham. He also shares about his transition from Focus on the Family and his memorable interview with serial killer Ted Bundy, who warned parents to protect their kids from pornography.
