In this two-part episode Nathan tells us what it was like growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, an organization that many outsiders think of as just another religion, but for survivors is more akin to a secretive cult rife with abuse of power and penchant for covering up atrocities and crimes within its own ranks

This week we have a very special guest, Morgan! Morgan is currently attending school to become a licensed therapist with a focus on trauma. In this episode we'll talk about the power dynamics of abusive relationships and overcoming trauma. She even helps provide a little bit of insight when it comes to Jen and her serial predatory behavior

We do want to stress that Morgan is not a licensed professional. While she is on that path and has a strong interest both personally and professionally, all advice given herein should be considered anecdotal at best, if you are struggling with any of the things mentioned in this episode, we strongly recommend reaching out to a professional for assistance

In 2000, Marley had just began their new life at Penn State in State College, doing the typical college things: too much schoolwork, lots of D&D and making new friends. Among these friends was a classmate, Jack and the two would become very close, that is until Jack's internet girlfriend would make the bus trip across the country to live with him. When Marley met Jen she was quiet, awkward and shy, they could've never anticipated how quickly things would change

This is a continuation of the Jen Saga

This week, Courtney tells us about some invasive species threatening our waters, from critters like the zebra mussel that travel on the hull of boats across land to get to new water sources, to the lion fish, a beautiful venomous fish that is decimating native fish populations everywhere

In this special two-part holiday episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan, Halli and guest Courtney take a look at four of topics full of heartwarming and inspirational stories!

• Merry Chris-Fish: Courtney takes us on a tour of all the holiday inspired named marine creatures, from Christmas tree worms, to sea angels and even a crab that likes to take things from its environment decorate itself!
• The Great Tree Kangaroo: Tree kangaroo seems like a paradoxical term. Kangaroos are large, powerful land marsupials unlike anything on any other continent outside Australia. But evolution is a funny thing, and out of it we got tree kangaroos.
• Asian Holiday Traditions: We all know about Christmas, but there are countless holidays celebrated by thousands of other cultures. Nathan takes us to India and China explore a few!
• The Hatbox Baby: It was Christmas Eve 1931, when a couple driving through the Arizona desert encountered car troubles. They pulled over and as they were examining the damage, they heard a baby crying. 150 feet away they found a little girl, seven days old in a woman's hatbox. How had she got there? Where were her parents? Who was she? These questions wouldn't be answered for seventy years

Pt.2

• Asian Holiday Traditions
• The Hatbox Baby
