    Great episode on Friday Paul. I too am fascinated with cults, perhaps because I was raised hard core Catholic. There is another interesting podcast called The Modesty Files, they interview people who have escaped from cults. Thanks again for such a great Podcast, you and some other people keep me going especially when things are rough. I so enjoy Friday mornings and listening to you and your guests.
