    Ep. 320 Trapped in Treatment - The Troubled Teen Industry - Episode 156 Remastered

    Remastered:
    Trapped In Treatment is a new docu-style podcast series from Paris Hilton & Warner Bros. Unscripted TV in Association With Telepictures, and iHeart Media, that will examine and expose the dark secrets of the “Troubled Teen Industry.” Beginning with Provo Canyon School, each season will focus on the story of one youth treatment facility, its survivors, and the traumatizing abuse at the hands of their captors. Hosted by Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger, Trapped in Treatment weaves together personal accounts with historical detail and expert opinions to shine a light on what really happens at behavior modification centers and how this billion-dollar industry has flourished for so long.

    Ep. 319 ISKCON and other spiritual groups - Episode 150 Part 2 Remastered

    Ep. 319 ISKCON and other spiritual groups - Episode 150 Part 2 Remastered

    In this remastered episode I chat with someone who has experienced The International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Michael gives a deep dive into many types of Religious and Spiritual groups he has joined, with a focus on a particularly problematic sub-group within the Hare Krishna movement called "The Mantra Lounge". I personally do not condone joining established cults or high demand groups for personal or social experimentation. Please be careful.

    Ep. 318 Dead, Insane or in Jail - Troubled Teen Industry. Episode 147 Remastered

    In today's remastered episode, I have a special interview with author Zack Bonnie who has written 2 books about his time at CEDU and Rocky Mountain Academy. Zack's activism and whistleblowing work has opened doors into institutional reform around the world - highlighting the abuse that happens in these troubled teen programmes. Zack breaks his story up by inserting perspectives from other people in Zack's life during these experiences, with his writing also peppered in research and explanations about cults and captive organisations.

    Ep. 317 Ramtha's School of Enlightenment - A Daughter's Story Part 2 Episode 144 Remastered

    In this remastered episode I chat at length with Alexandra who grew close to a family friend before deciding to follow him out of state and into the clasp of a destructive group known as RSE. Alexandra tells the story from her perspective, allowing us keen insight into what attempts at connection made by her father truly worked, and what could have been done, if anything, to help Alexandra come home sooner.

Compassion & Concern

The easy listening of this podcast sneaks up on you as the content is so educational through a very compassionate host. She asks the questions we would be having if we had the opportunities to have a cup of coffee or cup of tea with the amazing guests- that she continues to have on this podcast. Going back & listening to as many as I can now any chance I get.

Fantastic

I just found this pod and listened to the John Verner series. This is so good and love the discussion and (in the US) nice to find one overseas for a bot further reaching guests and topics

All

I enjoyed the podcast until she gets political. She doesn’t have a clue what she’s talking about and is completely “woke”. Which I find ironic because being “ woke” is totally cultish.
