Listen as they share their own stories, specialized research on subjects like the troubled teens industry, phrenology, the intersection of sexuality and control, and Mormon-related media (including Real Housewives of SLC and splinter groups like the FLDS).You can expect honest discussions and humor, but please note that conversations may contain themes of religious trauma, mi
