Surviving a family cult: Forager backstory |Michelle Dowd |#33

In this episode, world reknown and acclaimed author, Michelle Dowd shares her intruiging and inspiring story. We discuss her time in the cult, her fantastic appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) Podcast, life after the cult, religious philosophies, current and future endeavors. As a child, Michelle grew up on a mountain in the Angeles National Forest. She was born into an ultra-religious cult—or the Field as they called it—started in the 1930s by her grandfather, a mercurial, domineering, and charismatic man who convinced generations of young male followers that he would live 500 years and ascend to the heavens when doomsday came.
