In this episode, Kristina and Mark discuss Sarah Berman's new book "Don't Call it a Cult" and revisit the NXIVM sex cult.  We explore concepts of consent, how and if Keith Raniere and Harvey Weinstein run parallel but are really quite different types of apex predators, and what the fuck was Keith doing that made these women believe his game. Follow us on all  our social media (see our linktree below).  We're grateful that you come back each week to listen to us.
