Leah and Mike continue breaking down the Bridge to total Freedom towards the level of Clear with Bruce Hines. It's a stairway to heaven with turnstiles at every step.

Leah and Mike's old friend Bruce Hines joins them for Part 1 breaking down the scientology "Bridge to Total Freedom." They delve into scientology testing, Introductory Services and how scientology hooks new customers ("raw meat").

Leah and Mike talk to two members of Leah's family who disconnected after she left scientology and have now reconnected. It's an up close and personal look at scientology disconnection and "ethics."

Leah and Mike answer more listener questions. In this episode they cover how many scientologists are left, why scientology is so "white," should scientology celebrities be boycotted, the front groups of scientology, Applied Scholastics schools, Degraded Beings, Dilettantes and more. 

Leah and Mike continue the deep dive into the life and lies of Hubbard with Jon Atack, covering a whole new range of topics. Also a special tribute to Ron Miscavige.

We begin a new series of episodes taking a detailed look at specific areas of scientology. We begin with L. Ron Hubbard. This first parts focuses on his life and claims up to Dianetics. We are very fortunate to welcome Jon Atack back to help us navigate the maze of lies, half-truths and exaggerations that characterize the man's life.

Brian is an old time scientologist who ended his involvement and went on earn a PhD. He never spoke about the abuses he witnessed because his former wife and daughter were still involved. The story of how he came to be declared SP and his daughter's disconnection is typically tragic but especially insane. His heroic fight to get her back continues to this day.

Leah and Mike speak with the Sheriff of Tom Green County, Texas, Nick Hanna. He describes his work (and that of many others) in discovering, investigating and prosecuting the abuses in a Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints compound near the small town of Eldorado Texas in 2003.

This week we are joined by whistleblower, investigator, researcher and friend Jeffrey Augustine. Jeff does great work tracking and exposing scientology legal matters. We run down a list of scientologist criminals and the juxtaposition with the public claims of scientology being the most ethical group on earth.

We cover a variety of topics from the succession plan of Hubbard, silent births, what happens when a scientologist dies, to the Supreme Court decision about the deducibility of donations to scientology and the big lie about the death of L. Ron Hubbard.
