Very well produced and as a US citizen one could only hope that a high profile jerk that is accused of horrible sexual crimes would be dethroned here in our country. Until then I take heart in these survivors and their stories.
Good content, but way too many ads
A very thorough and compelling podcast. So well done. Thank God he got exposed!
I really wanted to love this podcast. The narrator is great. And the set up is great. But two episodes in, it’s so slow and repetitive. The narrator will say something and then there will be a sound bite saying the exact same thing, and it’s something they already told us in the last episode. I feel like I’ve been hearing the same thing over and over since the first five minutes. I’m hoping it picks up soon…
Very well done! I love how Martina Castro brings such human stories from parts of the world that usually get ignored by English speaking media.

The series follows a global faith-healing movement and its infamous leader, tracing how a charismatic guru built a powerful network around claims of miraculous healing, the mechanisms that enabled decades of abuse, and the long road to accountability. Across episodes, listeners hear prosecutors, journalists, survivors, and researchers discuss legal strategies, cultural dynamics, media influence, and the ongoing impact on victims and communities worldwide. Noteworthy is the rigorous investigative framing, the blend of courtroom detail with personal survivor voices, and the way the show situates a specific case within broader questions of belief, power, and accountability in spiritual movements.
