Summary

In a special crossover episode, this week we are airing Rachel's interview on Nobody Listens to Paula Poundston‪e‬. Paula, along with her co-host Adam Felber, ask Rachel about how to define a cult, the rise of cultic tactics in politics, and the intricacies of intervention, while Paula and Adam interject with their comedic takes. We hope you enjoy this lighter, yet still insightful, conversation about a serious topic. Before You Go: Rachel expands on the idea of interventions and deprogramming and addresses the misconceptions many people have about them. She also shares the dramatic story of a successful intervention in which she was involved. Thanks to our newest Patreon supporters: Mo, Nancy H, and Mike Ehrenkranz!

And now for this week's episode. So this week's episode is going to be another crossover episode, meaning that this is an interview I did on a different

0:58.6

show. And we are taking the portion of my interview on that show and releasing it as an

episode on this show. So this week, you get to hear my conversation with Paula Poundstone and Adam Felber,
