Note: This episode originally aired in December 2022.
There has been a recent resurgence of talk about the Synanon organization, thanks in part to documentaries released on Max and Paramount+. So we decided to reach back to December 2022 for a re-release of our Synanon episode.
Synanon started out as an alternative to AA, a rehab program for "dope fiends", but quickly turned into a sinister and deadly cult. Synanon was also the basis for many of the programs that we see today in the TTI (troubled teen industry).
In this special bonus episode, Ash is joined by badass survivor Jen Carole, whose parents were murdered by Josef DeAngelo aka the Golden State Killer. Jen grew up during the 60s and 70s in Southern California, when are where Synanon began.
