Ep. 68: Shrinks and L Ron Hubbard
Manage episode 378191013 series 2892020
Shrink your problems, or shrink your head(?), but whatever you do, don’t shrink away from this episode! Why are therapists called shrinks? Let’s go down the shrunken rabbit hole and explain all the possible reasons beginning in the Amazon and ending with an Austrian. Then Allison expands our minds to consider how a pulp science fiction writer turned into the founder of a new religious movement. This story is stranger than it seems. Ps. Was anyone else just as shocked as CA to find out what religion L. Ron Hubbard founded?!
