Welcome to Heaven's Gate.

Hi Heaven's Gate listeners, you probably don't know me, but my name is Jenna Weiss-Berman.

I'm the executive producer of this show and the co-creator of Pineapple Street Media.

We're producing Heaven's Gate with Glenn Washington and Stitcher.

We make a bunch of shows that I hope you love and already listen to, like Missing Richard

Simmons.

We also do a show with former US Attorney Pete Barara called Stay Tuned.

And we do a lot more shows like Women of the Hour with Lena Dunham making gay history.

So if you're looking for a podcast, check those out.

But for now, let's focus on this podcast because I'm not here to talk about those shows.

I'm here to talk about Heaven's Gate.

This week we're doing something pretty special.

Taking a week off the bigger story and instead we're diving into the story that made me

really excited to work with Glenn Washington as the host of this show.

Glenn's already told you a bit about how he grew up believing in a kind of end times Christianity,

but there's a lot more to it.

And a lot of you have emailed us and asked to hear more about Glenn's story.

So this week I'm going to ask him some questions.

At the end of the show we'll give you some more clues about the series, more about what

happened after T. A. K. A. Bonnie Lunettel's died and we'll tell you about what the group

did next.

And we also want to hear from you about your experiences with cults or just your experience
