Listen Later

Welcome, friends, to Episode 36! (In the episode, we say it's Episode 37, but we stand corrected! We are so excited for the next one that we got ahead of ourselves.)

In this wild card episode, Margot tells the story of "silent twins" Jennifer and June Gibbons, raising questions like, "can twins be telepathic?" and examining the long-term, often tragic effects of institutionalization. 

Elizabeth peeks into the wild, awful world of Scientology, from its origins to its influence in the world today. Learn more about the organization's war with the IRS, its celebrity supporters, and its abusive indoctrination tactics.
