Welcome to the first official episode of Cult Hackers (formerly 'What should I think about..?') For our first show we have a wonderful and knowledgeable cult hacker, former cult member Nicola Ranson.
The Netflix documentary series Wild Wild Country became a worldwide hit with its fascinating story of a cultic group's strange journey from free love to bio terrorism. Nicola Ranson is now a mental health professional and author, with her memoir 'A slice of orange' coming out in 2023. She was a member of the Rajneesh group for ten years and talks about her attraction to the group, life within it, her journey out and how she made sense of her life after leaving.
