Trigger warning. This podcast contains descriptions of various abusive situations.

Listener discretion is advised. My name is Eric Skrinski. As a former religious fundamentalist,

I'm shedding light on the dark side of the church, from the pulpit to the pews. But I'm not

doing it alone. Each week, I'm sitting down with survivors,

advocates, authors, and more to uncover the inner workings of these abusive religious groups

to give tactical tips on how to escape and to find out what we can do to take them down.

You're listening to the Bridge Boys podcast. When Rayo Bravo began working for the Charlie

Rose show, she believed she'd landed her dream job, producing segments for the highly

respected program on PBS. But behind the scenes, she quickly found herself navigating a toxic

work environment, one that would eventually be hit with a major spotlight by the Me Too

Movement in 2017, when eight women, including Rea, alleged sexual harassment. In her challenging

and thought-provoking book, Complicit, Reya doesn't just share her story. She examines the cultural

programming we receive that enables and even encourages this type of behavior.

She questions the media's coverage of the Me Too movement, exploring how the very narratives

claiming to empower women often fail them. One thing is certain. Rea Bravo's work will make you

rethink the stories we've been told about abuse, power, and consent.

Stay tuned.

This is an episode you won't want to miss.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the Preacher Boys podcast.

Raya, thank you so much for joining me on today's show.

Thanks for having me.

I think right out of the gate, it's important to kind of establish a definition of a word here because you have a title for your book that if taken the wrong way, can come across accusatory or victim blaming.
