20 Best Ever Joe Rogan Experience Podcasts
17. No. 947 - Ron Miscavige
Sticking with Scientology for the moment, Joe has a chat with the father of the current leader of the Church of Scientology.
After joining the church in the 70’s and working with them for over two decades, Ron breaks down how he introduced his son, David, to Scientology and how he rose up their ranks. But after he becomes their leader, their relationship began to deteriorate, resulting in Ron leaving the church and telling people about how they operate. The podcast even starts with Joe reading a statement from the Church condemning anything Ron has to say as an attempt to get rich off of his son's success. Ron later reveals how he found out David sent private investigators to monitor his movements for years.
It’s a tragically personal story about how a father and his son's relationship was tested and destroyed by power and influence.
