Orgsm: A Memoir and a OneTaste update with Ruwan Meepagala
About this episode
Ruwan Meepagala returns to discuss his memoir and the recent sentencing of OneTaste's founder.
The sentences just came down for OneTaste’s founder Nicole Daedone and her second-in-command Rachel Cherwitz – if you're unfamiliar with OneTaste you can listen to Let's Talk About Sects' deep dive in November 2020 . From that episode, you may remember Ruwan Meepagala. When he spoke with LTAS five years ago, Ruwan had already been working on his memoir, which he finished writing and released last year. It’s called ORGSM: A Memoir . The sentencing was the perfect opportunity to revisit Ruwan's story and find out how his perspective has shifted over the intervening years.
