    Episode 286: The Cult of Synanon - Part 2

    Charles Dederich’s sanctuary for those fighting drug addiction had morphed in its first decade of existence. It expanded from helping those with substance issues to becoming a utopian community with a growing list of business assets and resources. With its leader running things like a corporation, Synanon residents soon found their every hour accounted for, but they had no idea what was in store for their own futures or the future of their children. This week’s episode is The Cult of Synanon - Part 2.

My favorite podcast

I LOVE this podcast. The hosts make me laugh, gasp and every facial expression in between during dog walks and every day life. Good times and bad. I’m so grateful for the pod and the outlook of these two ladies. PS love the Freaky Friday episodes!

Most favorite

I have been listening to this podcast for probably 4 years but it feels like just last year. They are my most absolute favorite. They are respectful to the victims. They take their time to research. I just love them.

Fun and Freaky!

Both ladies bring the fun while talking about scary paranormal events and brevity when talking about tragic true crime stories!
