God's Favorite

About this episode

David Lewry and guest Dani discuss the lack of safety and accountability in twelve step programs and the broader implications for society.

This week, one of my favorite humans ever, god's Favorite, Dani stops by. We talk about a lack of safety, due to a lack of accountability within twelve step groups and programs. We discuss the almost open r#&e culture in which victims become isolated while predators are protected. This is a microcosm of society at large in which we victim blame and remove accountability from the predators placing it firmly and continuously on those most effected by the assaults. Whenever Dani and I sit down, you can assume that there's a trigger warning for our episodes. We talk openly about subjects a lot of folks don't want to hear about because it not only attacks their sensibilities, but it reminds us all that the world is an increasingly and incredibly dangerous place, for some more so than others. Thank you, god's favorite; rock and roll my friend.
