Description

Leah Remini and Mike Rinder's podcast, Fair Game will take you behind the facade and expose the terrible truth about scientology's Fair Game doctrine. It's been used for 5 decades to destroy anyone they label an enemy -- former scientologists, media, government officials -- anyone they think is impeding their objectives. Leah and Mike are covering new ground, digging deeper than ever into the shocking documents, facts and stories that will make you wonder how any of this is going on in America today.

Known for producing Robert Rodriguez films, more recently he directed Crusaders, a documentary on Jehovah's Witnesses for Vice TV. Aaron was raised a JW.

How can Mike cause permanent physical harm? Didn't the Thetan who is attached to the injured cause that? Can't the injured cure themselves per the level of OT?

I know Mike is on his book tour now, but has anyone heard of when they're releasing any new casts? In the wake of the Masterson trial, it would be really interesting if they could cover the trial, even without love stream. I'd love to hear their take/updates on it.

Born and raised a Hare Krsna. Discovering your Scientology series has been cathartic, nostalgic, enraging, thought provoking... and something to jump up and give a standing ovation to all at once.
