“What can I say… I thought this was great! I will be searching out more and more info on chuck dietrich. I really enjoy hearing about group think and the actions of the group. Any break away from societal norms really speaks to me. (Mindful that I work a 9-5 job, own a house and pay my taxes) I was talking to a friend about this podcast, chuck and Synanon and asked “how come I’m not in a cult” like how does it happen. Where and when. I lived in Los Angeles for 10+ years and specifically on the Santa Monica / Venice border at 5th & Colorado blvd in 2000-2001 and never got caught up in a cult. Feel like I’m missing out. I need a good brain washing. I liked when I heard one of the dope fiends say that. All of it was wild though. Really did feel at times like chuck was a mad relationship environment scientist. Just a dash here a pinch there a wallah “every body switch partners” - definitely worth a listen. It’s easy to see how communities, cultures and ideas can succeed and fail regardless of the first intentions. Synanon was a snapshot of that. A burst. The end was cool as well when they made comparisons to todays teenage recovery boot camps and draw a parallel line to what Chuck was doing. Well done.”

“Initially, I learned about Synonon from Mikel Jollett’s memoir, Hollywood Park. The myriad of perspectives in this podcast lends to the rich telling of the story and understanding of the time period. Interesting to see how Synonon filled a void in post Vietnam era America. Every era has its needs.”
