In this interview Pearse Redmond shares some of his research and thoughts on Scientology and cults in general. What is a destructive cult, and why would anyone join one in the first place? A better question might be: what pseudo-cults have I, myself been involved in, and to what extent? Human nature is ours, but it is also the Garden from which the guru attempts to pick Forbidden Fruit.

Dave McGowan, author of Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, returns to Trans Resister Radio. In this interview he talks with Aaron about race politics in media.
