Here we have another topic that was too big for one episode! Aislinn wants to tell Miranda about Scientology, but she first has to talk about its founder: L. Ron Hubbard.
Why did a pulp fiction writer manage to create a new religion? What qualified him to pioneer a new realm of psychology? And how much science is really in Scientology?
Featuring: the blending of sci-fi and reality, bizarre naval misadventures, temporary bigamy, and even a message from Aleister Crowley himself
And we haven't even gotten to the cult* stuff yet.
*Scientology.org is pretty adamant that they are not a cult. We'll let you decide for yourself.
