They're BAAA-AACCKKK! And so are we with a re-release on one of the wildest cults we've covered yet! Have you seen the colorful ads enticing you to come experience "China before Communism" through the art of song and dance at a Shen Yun performance? What about the far-right wing newspaper "The Epoch Times" that preaches misogynistic, racist, homophobic and prejudiced views? They're both owned by the dangerous cult of Falun Gong which Ash tells Caitlyn and Lindsey about this week! Caitlyn co-hosts PNW Haunts & Homicides, a podcast about true crime, the paranormal, and all kinds of spooky sh*t in the Pacific Northwest! Lindsey is the co-host of Ye Olde Crime, a podcast about spooky, strange, and surreal stories of the past. Support your local indie podcaster and check them both out today, wherever you listen to podcasts! ✨If you want to hear the rest of this season of TSFU Presents, with episodes on THE CULT OF KUNDALINI YOGA and HOW I FOUND A CULT WHILE LOOKING FOR A CO-WORKING SPACE, join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month! ✨ 🕸️Visit That's So Fcked Up's Website: https://tsfuthepodcast.com/ 🎉Support our work and get all kinds of nifty perks: https://www.patreon.com/TSFU ☕️Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tsfuthepodcast 📲Subscribe to our podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-so-fcked-up/id1508752329 🎧or Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2zo86q0aYvNSg8prn1k73N?si=590fae149eb24218 📸Follow TSFU on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tsfuthepodcast/ 🩷Follow Ash on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyloverichards/ 👾Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/c2HwBUDsUx -Audio editing by Dallas Hernandez. -Research by Kristen Jones. -Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shen_Yunhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gonghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigonghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterodoxyhttps://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/4477070-shen-yun-advertises-5000-years-ofhttps://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/dec/12/shen-yun-falun-gong-traditional-chinese-dancehttps://arbiteronline.com/2023/03/14/a-look-into-the-mysterious-roots-of-shen-yun-is-the-morrisohttps://faroutmagazine.co.uk/cult-shen-yun-dance-troupe/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teachings_of_Falun_Gong#Controversieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Springshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Timeshttps://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-coons-colleagues-introduce-bill-to-hold-china-accountable-for-forced-organ-harvesting#:~:text=Experts%20estimate%20that%20the%20human,1.5%20million%20concentration%20camp%20inmates.&text=China%20appears%20to%20be%20the,is%20not%20the%20only%20offenderhttps://humanrightscommission.house.gov/events/hearings/forced-organ-harvesting-china-examining-evidencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_Chinahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqwNo43p21Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAy8AngEZMs

In this episode of TSFU Interviews, Fallon chats with Erin Riley, author of "A Dark Force: 20 Years with a Covert Narcissist". They talk about recognizing narcissistic abuse and ways to process and deal with it, as well as her adventures in and around the music business"! Celebrated music maven Erin Riley looked like she had it all: a 1960s Mad Men–style upbringing on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, then an escape to “find herself” in glamorous 1970s Hollywood, where she landed some of the most influential positions of the 1980s music industry. She hung out with rock stars like Keith Richards, Steven Tyler, James Taylor, and Jon Bon Jovi and chose the hit records for America’s #1 rock & roll radio station, WMMR-FM. But her colorful, raucous, rock & roll life hid dark secrets.An emotionally neglected child with a generational legacy of stoicism and hiding painful truths, Erin had no real experience with love and healthy relationships. The marriage she thought would be her happily-ever-after led to 20 years of confusion, heartbreak, anger, and betrayal, all fueled by a malignant covert narcissist. Erin’s honest, searing memoir recounts her self-discovery journey through a series of life’s traumas and tragedies, her many bad decisions, and two toxic marriages. Her story will bring insight and guidance to survivors of narcissistic abuse and those questioning their relationships, and the hope that they, like Erin, can find a joyous rock & roll redemption." - Amazon Please check out Erin's website!

It's finally here folks, the intro to Ash's obsession for the last seven+ months... the case of Amanda Rabb. Amanda Rabb, a young Black woman experiencing homelessness and drug addiction on the streets of Skid Row in Los Angeles, California, appeared on the hit YouTube channel, Soft White Underbelly, in December of 2019. She was heavily featured on the channel and became someone that the audience was heavily invested in. "Mental health expert" Lima Jevremovic came on the channel in August of 2020 touting a new virtual reality therapy that she had come up with that could cure addiction, mental health issues, homelessness and more... and it seemed that her and Mark Laita, owner of the Soft White Underbelly channel, already had a "guinea pig" in mind. This is the introduction to Amanda's story and the insane web surrounding her tragic death. Ash also discusses addiction and suicide stats post election and her journey through the different phases of relapse. ✨Please consider supporting us on Patreon, for early ad-free content and so much more for as little as $5 a month! 🩷Or make a one time donation on Buy Me a Coffee!✨ 👾We have an amazing community of friends and fans on Discord and it's open to everyone 🕸️Visit That's So Fcked Up's Website: https://tsfuthepodcast.com/ 📸TSFU on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tsfuthepodcast/ 👀Ash on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyloverichards/ 📲Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-so-fcked-up/id1508752329 🎧Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2zo86q0aYvNSg8prn1k73N?si=590fae149eb24218 Audio editing by Ryan Truby.
