My dad grew up in a cult. Now he's a famous scientist.

Grab some headphones: I'm releasing serialized audio commentary for my book, Cultish. Here's Part 4.

A very special edition of my Cultish audio commentary series: Today I’m reading an essay I wrote and published back when the book first came out, which dives a bit deeper into my family’s experience with the 70s-era cult, Synanon. I’m currently neck-deep in Synanon history, because it’s a more prominent part of the Cultish docuseries I’m developing as an adaptation of the book!
