Description

This week I'm thrilled to welcome Mike Rinder to the podcast. I've been a huge fan and supporter of his work since I read Lawrence Wright's book Going Clear about the history and abuses of the Church of Scientology. Mike co-hosted the A&E documentary series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. He reunited with Remini for the podcast Scientology: Fair Game. 

Mike was kind of enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to talk about his new memoir A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology. I can't recommend this book enough.  

Thanks for listening! Kyler
