Thank you Mike for all your work! Your quest to expose this cult was well appreciated. You had such a calm and intelligent approach to your work. I found every segment where you spoke quite engaging. You will be missed and I send love to your family. See you in Heaven my friend.

Mike Rinder, an exemplar of courage and resilience- and through his example, a man who embodied the true human capacity for transformation and personal growth. How he managed to exude a positivity and sensitivity, a humanity, in spite of the enormous hardships, sacrifices and attacks he had to endure is nothing short of a miracle. He is deeply missed.

Thanks for everything. You’re a hero to so many. You are truly missed.

Mr. Rinder gave his all to debunking the scam of Scientology, not to be famous, or mock anyone, his life after leaving Scientology was about love, helping others, and reducing harm to others.His encyclopedic knowledge of the the organization, the receipts he had, his intelligence, fearlessness, determination were matched only by his bigheartedness. The true friendship between Ms. Remeny and Mr. Rinder has a quality all its own that will endure. Ms. Remeny, the depth of Mr. Rinder’s loss is a painful wound. Continue. Be steadfast and brave, Take ‘em down! To Mr. Rinder’s wife, Kristi, their young son Jack, step son Shane, and to his son Benjamin and daughter Taryn who disconnected from their father, I am sorry for the pain of your loss and for what could have been.

Thanks for standing up for something you believe in. I wish so many others would do the same. Best wishes to all People/Team that are in exposing this grotesque CULT.

I can’t seem to muster up any sympathy or empathy for people who join and stay loyal to this nasty cult. They work for free like dogs 6 days a week and are forced into abortions, yet they stay for years longer. I’m not referring to the ones that were born into this cult. Of course Tom Cruise & John Travolta love it, they’re treated like kings and don’t have to do anything. People who leave, especially the famous or vocal ones are harassed, defamed & spied on. All the names that they use are stupid too: Sea org, drop your body, suppressive person, etc. People have tried to alert the public about this cult, yet people still join and give them all of their money. I can only listen to about one episode a month before my disgust and disbelief take over. They’ve joined willingly and many choose to stay. How stupid.

Love you guys❣️

Mike always provides educational and fascinating interviews and insight. Thank you for being a tireless advocate against coercive control groups.

I’ve been watching the fair game podcast like a hawk waiting for the return! Only a little late to finding this, but I’m so glad you’re both ok! 10/10 great podcast

I appreciate you, your family, Leah, Mark, Clare and others. I have listened to the show and Podcast for years and I gain great comfort from it. It is a pleasure to witness people fighting for what’s right. I have been upset lately that it seems a group that has also left Scientology has turned on you and literally encouraged others to stand against you. I don’t understand and I am sorry this is happening. Good health to you and your family. Donna

Leah & Mike!!!!! Finally just found y’all again! Missed you both so much !!!! I listen to so many podcast and y’all’s are my all time favorites!!! I literally listen to the old ones over and over and over. Please NEVER stop!!

As always Mike Rinder is articulate, thoughtful, and spot on in his analysis of the ultimate multi-level marketing scam, Scientology.

Mike has been a tireless activist against Scientology! It’s so great to see him continuing the work despite all of the barriers. Activism of all kinds require flexibility and dedication and he is a great example of this.

But where did you go….again??? Are you all ok?

Excellent!!

Mike is an absolutely wonderful person to listen to and I enjoy this podcast as much as Fair Game which I had really enjoyed!

Sharing his knowledge on the subject of Scientology and their very specific abuse of the system, and more importantly the abuse of the very people who fall victim to their particular ideology (that is a years long scam leaving people quite literally broke and broken)- comes at a huge personal cost to Mike and his family. Mike and others who speak out suffer the immediate loss of friendships, family members, years of harassment, being followed, his CHILDREN being followed; and so many more horrible things a supposed church should NEVER do! Mike has paid daily, for YEARS. His contacts with former members and their constant brainstorming produces many thoughtful and somewhat practical ideas on combatting further harm - and at a minimum brings the illegalities practiced by COS out into the sunlight. I appreciate his efforts and always look forward to the next episode of the podcast !

Really enjoying this. I dated a woman years ago that got out of Scientology, but her mother is still in it. She told me things that match perfectly to everything you guys are saying. She grew up in the sea org and suffered so much trauma. It’s terrible but what you guys are doing is awesome. Keep up the great work.

I love Mike and Leah. I adore what they do everyday and how they’ve become so strong. I listen to this podcast everyday. Keep on going!

Love listening to Mike and Leah. You can tell that they’re friendship is genuine. And both of them are so compassionate.

Mike is super smart and knows more about the upper echelons of Scientology than almost anybody in the outside. He is also very clear. I bought his book. I’m deducting one star because he turned back to the dark arts when dealing with a difficult situation with a former colleague. Tainted my previous admiration for him and disappointed me. Still a good show.

Thanks to Mike’s wife, Christie, the podcast with Mike and Leah is back! Now we can listen while we work, and drive, and ride our bikes, and thwart the will of the supreme leader of Scientology, David Miscavige and Dave’s only deity, LR Hubbard. There are other podcasts exposing the greed and cruelty of cults and specifically Scientology, but this is the one where the man, so valued by David Miscavige, he was put in charge of the highest level projects WHILE IN THEIR INTERNAL PRISON! Meanwhile Mike was bouncing back and forth from Scientology stages in front of adoring crowds, Leah was one of their biggest celebrities, required to socialize with their supreme celebrity, Tom Cruise. So we get to hear the secrets of the disfunction at the cult’s highest executive levels and the disfunction at it’s highest public level. What’s it like to have your “church” order you to go to one of Tom Cruise’s mansions and play Hide and Seek? Find out here. What’s it like to have the highest executive in your “church” order you to paint the stairwell of the new big building, before he makes you change into your tuxedo to get on stage and tell your fans how wonderful everything is going? Find out here. Leah thought Mike was living a pristine, exemplary life. We hear how mind boggling the truth still is to her. The cruel degradation, the fund raising balls with millionaires, children as young as five being asked the most explicit questions during recorded, required, “confessions,” and explaining “slice and bake” cookies to Tom Cruise, it’s all here.

I grew up only miles away from downtown Clearwater and Scientology. So many secrets and unknowns of those in uniform walking in and out of the Fort Harrison Hotel and down the sidewalks. Mike, Leah, and guests offer so much information and understanding of the exact beliefs and workings of Scientology, it is clear that this is NOT a church! Educational and interesting, one can’t help but value and admire Mike’s ability to clearly communicate Scientology’s history, tactics, and abuses towards its members and public. Highly recommended for all to hear the truth.

Scientology is a cult and a for profit business, they do not deserve tax exemption, the proof is RIGHT HERE. Content is also interesting and entertaining while still being infuriating.

Mike has the facts, the passion, and the talent to expose Scientology like no one else can. Other ex members may have known both the cult founder and his successor, as Mike did and most didn’t, but Mike can tell these stories better. Maybe it’s his slendiferous vocabulary (my word, not his, he’d never be that Seussian), maybe it’s his Australian (to an American) accent, maybe it’s whatever made him such a favorite to the Scientology audiences he spoke before, but whatever it is, he’s the best. I’m terribly glad he’s back with Leah regularly, I’m glad he’s making this podcast, and I hope he’s successful at ending the crimes of Hubbard’s cult.

I love the podcast! So interesting!

Never miss an episode. I listen to the Podcast but may try watching an episode. Been listening since Fair Game podcast came out. Was so happy to find this after not seeing any new episodes on other. Praying someday that the law will realize this is NOT A CHURCH!!! THIS IS CONTROL & ABUSE BEYOND MEASURE!!!

Great to have you back Mike. This format works very well in my opinion! Keep it up!

High control religions are so incredibly dangerous. Add unlimited financial power and absolute control over your personal life, and you find Scientology. Thank you for shining light on this destructive buisness/ religion.

What happened to Marty Rathbun ??

I missed you guys! Thank you for bringing insight into all things Scientology.

With the obvious, rampant abuse and the number of victims in Scientology, I wonder if they’re paying the LAPD to ignore them. Some of the cops so vehemently defend Scientology that I wonder if those officers are being paid. And I don’t mean donations. ‘Thou doth protest too much,’ LAPD.

So so happy you are back and healthy. I love this new series and wish you all the best!

So excite to hear the two of you again! I love learning and being involved in spreading what I learn through the two of you and through my own research! Especially when a Scientology building is in my city, and like you have said, its just an empty building!

I was worried when all of a sudden you two were gone... no more episodes. So good to hear your voices again. I know someone in Scientology and he destroyed my relationship with my sister. He raped my sister when she was 13 yrs old. No one would believe me, not even my mother and my sister still defends him. Because of your podcast, I understand his evilness. Stay safe and carry on!

Mike, you’ve disappointed a lot of folks who supported you through your health battles and rebuilding your life after leaving that cult. We’re still rooting for you. We still support The Aftermath Foundation because we support the INTENTIONS of the organization. But I think you’ve lost sight of the big picture. In your professional life, you’re turning against friends like Aaron for personal reasons. Aaron has work to do on himself but so do you. People coming out of cults aren’t the most well adjusted people on the planet and they have a lifetime of work ahead of them. You must keep that in mind when judging others and have more grace. You can then show grace towards those who come to the foundation for help.

So glad you’re back in podcast form. Now you both can go on walks with me again

Camera woman story was fascinating. It starts out, not that bad and then spins into a nightmare. She is amazing!

Thanks for making the extra effort to produce these in podcast form! Fantastic

This is so unbelievable. I can only imagine how frustrating this is for people who have loved ones involved in this organization. I can’t believe it can even be called a religion. I mean who are they worshiping? I think this is very important work you guys are doing, keep going. Who knows how many people you have stopped from getting involved in the first place.

Make and Leah, your voices have been missed. So glad you’re back and exposing Scientology for all that it is. Good luck and may the fair gaming stop in its tracks.

So happy your back and love watching SPtv on YouTube. The SPtv community is amazing, keep up the fight.

Very inspiring podcast for anyone fighting any cause right now. Leah and Mike are always passionate but never lecturing. They are super informed and up-to-date, and always interesting. They offer a great example of strength and engagement. I missed them! So glad they are back.

So happy to have Mike and Leah back! Love their ferocity to bring the lies of Scientology to light! Keep up the good work!!!!

Leah and Mike have risked so much to continue their fight to reveal the truth about the cult of Scientology. It’s a serious and dark topic that they both manage to make interesting and engaging because of their history, first hand knowledge and their beautiful chemistry together. And i love it when Leah curses!!!!

Oh, how we’ve missed Leah and Mike! This is hands down my favorite podcast, and I’m thrilled for new episodes. I love seeing the progress this duo - in collaboration with others - is making in terms of taking down one of the grossest cults of them all.

Wow, what an absolutely necessary show! Mike and Leah are in the trenches, doing the work that so many others are to even attempt. Such brave souls. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!! Scientology is crumbling thanks to these 2 warriors who are fighting the good fight!

Thank you so much Mike and Leah! I’ve so been looking forward to this and all the new episodes to come! Keep doing the hard work and know you’re appreciated!

So glad you two are back! It’s been a long wait in the podcast arena.

So glad to have Mike and Leah back on a podcast!!!
