“Hello, I just want to say I love your podcast. I’ve never been in a high demand religion or cult but they fascinate me. The way you conduct your interviews is just top notch! I am wondering if you have heard from anyone who left the Amish or the Mennonite communities in Canada? I live in an area...”Read full review »

“This was such a timely piece with what is going on now in Israel and Palestine. I hope you have more episodes regarding this topic. It was very informative. Your quest did a great job in her telling of her life and the current climate in the Middle East.”

“I just listened to “A Well Trained Wife” and pre-ordered Tia’s book on Amazon. Her story is chilling and I think there is a warning in it for our country today because of the rise of Christian Nationalism and its patriarchal elements within members of our government. We need to be aware of these...”Read full review »

“I was in the same cult with Charlotte at the same time as Charlotte. She was even meaner and more evil than Guru Jagat could ever be — at least Guru Jagat tried to show kindness. Charlotte was mean, so mean!! Horrible person. It’s so painful for me to see her everywhere talking about Guru Jagat...”Read full review »

I’m not particularly drawn to the topic, but Shalise’s intelligent, kind, nonjudgmental interview approach makes every episode engaging and interesting. She’s able to draw out the raw honesty of her...”Read full review »
