Sarah Berman | Author, Don't Call it a Cult

We learned A LOT about NXIVM last year. But we barely scratched the surface. My guest today, reporter and author, Sarah Berman, has covered NXIVM extensively for years — first at VICE, and most recently, in her new book, DON'T CALL IT A CULT. This book is THE place to get the whole story of how NXIVM came to be and ALL the players within. Sarah and I get into all the details including the branding, the coercion and trafficking, as well as getting comfortable with the inconceivable.I promise you will learn something ( if not many things) you didn't know about NXIVM before and I think you will appreciate Sarah's thoughtful coverage as much as I do.More on Sarah and her work can be found here: https://sarahberms.com/Check with your local bookseller or get her book here! https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Call-Cult-Shocking-Raniere/dp/B08XN45Y7F/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords;=don%27t+call+it+a+cult&qid;=1621368538&sr;=8-1Even more of my conversation with Sarah Berman can be heard on TRIALOGUE: a court room conversation.
