| 6/27/26 | Speaking of Cults...Scientology Games and Abuse ft. Jon Atack | Today I welcome back Jon Atack to continue our series of podcasts to debunk the "basics" of Scientology, one bit at a time. This week we are taking on self-determinism, pan-determinism and "games" theory in Scientology. This is a wide-ranging and hopefully interesting discussion where we pull no punches on how we see Scientology. Enjoy! | 1h 53m 08s | ||||||
| 6/20/26 | Speaking of Cults...The Struggle of Scientology with Matt Pesch | This week I welcome former Scientologist and Sea Org member Matt Pesch, someone who joined up in the 1970s, was early friends with Marty Rathbun and had decades of experience in Scientology at its highest levels. This is the first of a series of interviews with Matt to discuss not only his own time in Scientology but also the flavor of the subject and the times in which it has existed. In this episode, we cover Miscavige's early days and how he rose to power, who Marty Rathbun was and how he got involved and what things were like in the much wilder times. Enjoy! | 1h 40m 01s | ||||||
| 6/13/26 | Speaking of Cults...Scientology, WISE and Delphi with Natalia Hirsch | This week I welcome back former Scientologist Natalia Hirsch, originally from Ecuador but who had a wide-ranging life and Scientology experience she is sharing with us. In today's final episode, we cover her experience in WISE and at the Delphi School in Oregon, both Scientology front group operations which are just satellites of Scientology churches. Natalie's story has been fun to feature and I hope you enjoy this one. Join me for my book workshop starting this month! https://ilumn8.life/op/reclaiming-your-mind-and-life-chris-shelton/ | 1h 48m 13s | ||||||

| 2/21/26 | Speaking of Cults...Body Language and Manipulation | Today I welcome back Zach Elwood to discuss body language and how it really works to "read" someone, understand their tells and how to accurately predict what they are going to do. It's a bit more complicated than you may have been told. All of this, of course, directly relates to how predators and cult leaders read their followers and use what they know against them.

| 2/14/26 | Speaking of Cults...What are MAGA Christians Thinking? | Today I welcome back Dr. Clint Heacock, a former evangelical minister who was born and raised in an evangelical community and has done a great deal of research on what the Christian Nationalist agenda is and how it aligns with Trump, MAGA and Project 2025. Today we revisit these topics and answer the question "What are these MAGA Christians thinking in supporting a mad dictator?" I hope this episode helps shed some light on what is going on with these people and how to talk to them to wake them up from their Christian fever dream.

| 2/7/26 | Speaking of Cults...Transforming Landmark with Ben Eisenberg | This week I welcome Ben Eisenberg, someone who grew up in and around Landmark and its teachings, which did not help him in his early life. He's spent quite some time sorting this out and shares his journey with us today including a surprising outcome when he pushed for some change. Enjoy!

| 2/1/26 | Speaking of Cults...You Can't Save Everyone - What 100 Podcasts Taught Me about People | This week we went live for the 100th episode of the Speaking of Cults podcast. I have some personal reflections and experiences to share as a cult expert and human in this world which I hope will be of some use to my listeners. | 44m 18s | ||||||
| 1/24/26 | Speaking of Cults...The Unpaid Army of God | This week I welcome back Shannon Grover and Bryce Blankenagel to discuss the details of Mormon missionaries and what they actually are called upon to do. It's straight up slave labor under the guise of religious dedication and the Mormon Church is making billions off this free labor. Tune in and find out what is going on and how the Mormons are hiding their blatant abuse and criminality in plain sight. It's quite something. Shannon and Bryce: https://glassboxpodcast.com | 1h 38m 30s | ||||||
| 1/17/26 | Speaking of Cults...The Myth of Good Christian Parenting | This week I welcome Marissa Franks Burt and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis, authors of the new book The Myth of Good Christian Parenting, a deep exploration of the myths that permeate Christian communities throughout the world about what is "good parenting" but which is, in fact, just child abuse. I hope you'll give this one a listen and consider what we have to say. Enjoy!

| 1/10/26 | Speaking of Cults...The Rise and Fall of the Exclusive Brethren | This week I welcome Cheryl Hope and Richard Marsh from the Get a Life Podcast to discuss the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (formerly Exclusive Brethren), a religion/business group with a fascinating background and even more wild structure which survives to this day through the Hales family in Australia. Cheryl and Richard have quite a bit to share about this. Enjoy! Get a Life Podcast: @getalifepodcast | 1h 50m 14s | ||||||
| 1/3/26 | Speaking of Cults...How Body Language Experts Fool You with Zach Elwood | We are now back for 2026. This week I welcome back Zach Elwood to discuss so-called "body language experts" and the pseudoscience they push as "infotainment" which actually creates a pretty skewed idea of how people work and what deceptive behavior is all about. We cover a lot in a little bit of time. Enjoy! Zach's YouTube: @PeopleWhoReadPeoplepodcast Munecat video: https://youtu.be/Y0VQyEY-B2I?si=Em_PyU9HGJnSyPYQ | 1h 07m 54s | ||||||
