This week, on location in Minneapolis, I conducted an interview with Penny Mixhau, the widow of a former Scientologist whose death had a great deal to do with the anti-psychiatry phobia induction which Scientology engages in. Perhaps one of my most personal podcasts to date, Penny’s story is a lesson for us all in the collateral damage that destructive cults wreak on those who are connected to their members. These groups are not just destructive to their individual members, but to everyone around them.

This week, it’s the return of the Three Apostates, as I welcome Lloyd Evans (former JW) and Jonathan Streeter (former Mormon) to talk about what goes on in destructive cults towards children and how these groups act to cover it up rather than admit to wrongdoing.

This week I talk with Karen Ernst of Voices for Vaccines and creator of the Vax Talk podcast. Voices for Vaccines is a parent-led organization that supports and advocates for on-time vaccination and the reduction of vaccine-preventable disease. We discuss the safety and efficacy of vaccines, what the anti-vax movement is all about and Scientology even enters into the mix in ways you wouldn’t expect.

February 10, 2018 is the 10th anniversary of the first international protest of Scientology by Anonymous. Sparked by the Church’s attempt to censor the internet by removing a Tom Cruise video, Anonymous declared war and Scientology has never been the same since.

This week, Dr. Jeff Wasel and I follow up on our video from a few weeks ago to further discuss Scientology’s dirty tricks bureau, the Office of Special Affairs. We go over the strategy and tactics that former and non-Scientologists should engage in to have the best results in exposing Scientology’s abuses and human rights violations.
