Hello listeners of you must remember Manson.

It's me, Karina Longworth, here to share a preview of The Sunshine Place,

a new documentary podcast created by C13 originals in association with Team Downey and Wink pictures.

The Sunshine Place tells the mind-blowing true story of Sinonon, one of America's most cutting-edge social experiments, which became one of its most dangerous and violent cults, as it's never been told before from the inside out and by the people who lived it.

Before long, they would make an even bolder claim.

They could fix any problem.

with thousands of people and millions of dollars in assets.

The man who made the miracle happen would be the same man to destroy it all, along with the

lives of many of his followers.

The Sunshine Place, a production of Peabody Award nominated C-13 originals, is available

now on the Odyssey app or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

You're probably wondering what exactly is Synonym and I guess it really all
