This podcast contains conversations of me getting to know my friends better and asking them interesting questions. These podcasts will be structured more conversational-based, rather than interview-based, and I will mostly be speaking with college students, as I'm a college student myself.

    Ep. 1: Talking Cults, Drugs, and Spirituality with Julian

    In this episode, I talk to Julian (same guy from the Pilot episode!) about our college experiences being heavily involved in an organization that has been accused of being a cult by Berkeley students. Whether or not these allegations are fair (I personally don't think they are), we talked extensively about our experiences, both good and bad, in this organization and ultimately cover why we left. Oh, and we also talked about drugs, and why I decided to go sober. Enjoy!
