Summary

It was my dream to interview India. This is almost real journalism people! I love learning about the psychology of cults and hearing the experiences in documentaries, but it was an honor to sit down with NXIVM cult survivor, India Oxenberg, to hear her story and see her as a whole person, instead of just a name from a wild story. This was one of the most fascinating interviews we've ever had in hell.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/berninginhell/support
