  • What works?

    You need to take a deep dive into how deprogramming works. There are many cult specialists that can guide you! This cognitive dissonance is exactly the same thing. Great work on this story!

  • Total ideological bias

    Podcast is such ideological propaganda its hard to make it through the sea of bias that is its “reporting” - witness the most recent cheerleading for the heroic “feminists” who bravely fought for the right to terminate their pregnancies. No reporting from the pro-life/anti-abortion perspective. Its great evidence that NPR shouldn’t be financed by my tax dollars

  • Sad and relatable podcast.

    Great podcast! I feel bad for everyone in this family. My dad and I had completely different political views that were similar. I would never believe his conspiracy theories or crazy politics, but I did respect what he believed. We were able to have a great relationship by agreeing to not agree. I hope this family has a resolution soon. You can tell there was a lot of love there.
