Summary

Sarah Edmondson (HBO's The Vow, A Little But Culty, Scarred) joins the show to talk about her experience escaping the NXIVM cult, her feelings speaking at the screening of the season two finale, realizing she'd been misled about what her brand (yes, she was branded) represented, her reactions to Keith Raniere, her thoughts on the loyalists (her husband and ALBC cohost Anthony "Nippy" Ames makes a brief appearance too), whether she thinks Nancy Salzman was sincere, recruiting/enrolling people, deprogramming, moving to Atlanta, the one thing most people susceptible to cults have in common, Pam Cafritz's funeral, suspicions that Keith was poisoning women, Allison Mack, writing her memoir and more. We also did a round of JMOE, HGFY and answered your questions. Plus Sarah read the vows Keith wrote for her wedding. And we're giving away a copy of her book!
