Sara and Danny are back this week to talk all about Teal Swan, the focus of the recent documentary "The Deep End." They start off with Teal Swan's beginning and her claims of possessing extrasensory abilities, and how she made a name for herself through a series of youtube videos. Then they cover the cult-like group she's created and the controversial behavior that she's exhibited as their leader. They also get into the experiences of various previous members of the group and how they recall their time within it.
