YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn Part One of a two part episode, Marc and Claire Headley discuss their escape from a locked Scientology base in a story that some may find stranger than fiction. This is not the typical Indie Authors podcast. Like all our guests, Marc and Claire are master story tellers, so this episode is a mix of fascinating recounts, a crash course on Scientology, a description of what it is like to live with cult induced-PTSD, on writing to heal, and a way to inform other Scientologists that you can have a life after leaving. He also touches on how growing up without a formal education left him feeling that he couldn't write anything that people would want to read, and how his book began as posts on the internet.
Other topics discussed in this episode include:
• The Sea Org
• Area 51 and North Korea
• L Ron Hubbard: the man and the myth, plus his writing career
• The Billion Year Contract
• The Brass Rail in Toronto and the Vagina Monologues
• The Oxford Capacity Analysis Test
• PT Barnum
• The irony of Scientology being taken down by writers when it was created by a writer
• Astounding Science Fiction
• Lord Xenu
