The Sunshine Place
Welcome to the 1980s, where the war on drugs rages on and America's teenagers are caught in the crossfire. Enter Straight Incorporated, a controversial new rehab program that promises its tough love approach can set kids back on the straight and narrow. But for the survivors of Straight, their experience tells a horrifyingly different story — one of abuse, torture, and brainwashing. Season 2 of “The Sunshine Place” delves into the shocking tale of Straight Incorporated, an experimental teen rehab that descended into a sadistic cult exploiting parents' deepest fears and their children's vulnerabilities. This heart-wrenching exploration of parenting, family, and the human spirit intertwines with the dark underbelly of power, money, and politics. And at the heart of it all, we find a connection back to the subject of “The Sunshine Place” Season 1, Synanon. Executive Produced by Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, and Emily Barclay Ford of Team Downey, together with Josh McLaughlin of Wink Pictures. The Sunshine Place is an Audacy original.

Disturbing

Well done, well written. A good, but disturbing listen. Hard to believe this actually happened here in the US but evidently these things happen more than people realize. Heart broken for these kids and to think there’s so many of them…
Season 2: huge warning
11月25日
This podcast is so very well done. I listened to all of season 1 with the same kind of curiosity I have with the Jonestown massacre. Horrible things were done but you can kind of steel yourself. I started listening to Season 2 and— I am no stranger to true crime podcasts or listening to talks about cults, SA, murder, etc… BIG BIG BIG (in neon lights) WARNING. I was not ready for the first episode. As much as I want to know what happened to these kids, the warnings at the beginning did not prepare me for the content or delivery of the devastating description just in the first episode of season 2. If you are in any way a survivor of childhood trauma of ANY kind, or a survivor of assault or SA of ANY kind, please proceed with extreme caution. I honestly don’t know if I can listen to the rest of season 2. These are some of the best journalists making podcasts right now. But just know it’s going to be profoundly difficult to listen to.
Scary

That’s so scary I’m a kid I hope that doesn’t happen to me, it’s very intriguing whatsoever. I will look into it further though, thank you for your survival to tell this wicked tale!
Well Done
