The local townspeople were told lectures and films were made there. But is that all that was happening? It is the location of a multi-million dollar home for L. Ron Hubbard, built two decades after his death. It is the h... more

  • Joy Villa is a Deeply Problematic Guest

    Great show, but let’s not platform Joy Villa just because she left Scientology. She continues to be toxic and culty. Look her up. She’s harmful to humanity.

  • I love Claire

    I do care about Marc too but Claire has a special light that only allows her to do good. No pretense but lots of empathy and humor are a recipe for modeling an authentic self.

    I do believe the Scientology parents are negligent and don’t seem concerned about how their children are being treated by this cult. Claire grew up to be lovely despite Scientology and the neglect of her parents to this day!!😊

  • Keep Shining Light On This Darkness

    I became interested in Scientology when I stumbled across Tony Ortega’s book about Paulette Cooper, Breaking Miss Lovely, which tells a horrifying true story about how Scientology operates and the vindictive, vicious nature of their cult. Marc and Claire have compelling stories and it’s frankly very impressive that they have managed to thrive with a successful marriage, business, family and podcast despite everything they have been through-not everyone gets out (#WheresShelley?)

    I found this podcast after listening to them as guest speakers on Mike Rinder and Leah’s podcast and have never looked back. Have listened to them all and have really educated me on Scientology. Also great that they are a good laugh too. Keep up the great work with educating people and getting people out and into a safe environment. From sunny Britain 😂🇬🇧
