Anna and Mark are back with their first episode of 2022. To start the year, the hosts focus on Keith Raniere's group NXIVM. This philosophical movement and social development program was established in 1998, but quickly gets out of hand. Listen as Anna explains the mental manipulation that people were put through and the narcissistic actions by Keith and other leaders alike. Anna brings it up to present day with current status of high ranking officials and Mark speculates on the future for this group. Thanks for supporting the pod and remember, Don't drink the kool-aid.
