  • I Want to Sympathize, But…

    I want to feel badly for these people but they’re so profoundly stupid I just can’t muster the sympathy.

    Even the main subject - who is clearly capable and sharp - is so naive and ignorant of the facts surrounding her, I just can’t care.

  • It was a good listen, I did like the reporter, but found it very hard to warm to his buddy, who joined NXIVM. She seemed entitled, fell hard for what she wanted to hear, navel gazing all day and making lots of money. Didn't ever anyone ask how are we changing the world exactly? How to justify navel gazing day in day out and when is it ok to have ONE guy telling me how to live and a buy in scheme is the way to get recruits? I did think 120 years was a bit OTT for Raniere, tho he does deserve 25.

  • Awesome content

    Love the content….but CBC you are a professional media outlet…uploading the podcasts in order seems to be pretty entry level formatting! Super frustrating if you are listening while driving. Easy fix.
