“As an ex-Catholic reckoning with problematic Catholic beliefs and figures, Season 1 of this podcast had me hooked and enthralled. I thought there was no way I’d enjoy Season 2 as much, having no background in or knowledge of ballet, but boy was I wrong. Both seasons—amazingly researched and critical—address powerful, profound themes that touch so many parts of human life: cult-like thinking, self-sacrifice and perfectionism, expression vs. loss of individuality, and how these behaviors affect our social and internal life. Even though I never joined a religious order, nor danced ballet, I found myself relating to so many of the tough questions posed by the interviewees and the hosts. Incredibly thought-provoking, brilliantly produced, and devastatingly beautiful podcast. I hope there’s a Season 3!”
