On today's episode, we discuss Russell Anderson, the richest man in the IFB. Anderson provided the funding to start Hyles Anderson College in 1972. His money bought him the biggest stages in fundamentalism where he was happy to tell his rags to riches story of being a coal miner turned real estate tycoon. We also discuss the power that this money afforded Anderson to treat other people poorly. Sadie tells her firsthand experience of being groomed as a pre-teen to be Anderson's "girlfriend."

If you are a new listener to our show or are just finding out about the IFB from the "Let Us Prey" Documentary, we recommend listening to episode 57, as well as our 5-part "First Family of Fundamentalism" series from fall of 2020.
