I am really looking forward to listening to your book. I live in Australia and used to live a few houses away from Scientology at Chatswood. I never knew what it was, and I used to stare at it. Thinking it was strange. Through YouTube, I have fallen down the Rabbit hole of Scientology, and have been very interested in your journey since you are from Australia like myself.
I am proud that you are Australian and have done so much wonderful work to expose the cult of Scientology. We should never refer to it as a church or as a religion not even in a sentence it is a cult and sadly so many people have been hurt by it. Sending you love from Australia.

Hi Suzanne,

It is in the process of being sorted out. WF Howes is going to be making it available. They originally said it would be released on 31 January, now are saying 23 February. Why so slow is anyone’s guess…

Hi there from Cambridgeshire in the UK.
I’ve just tried to find your book on Audible to download for my mother, another ex Scientologist from many moons ago, but no luck. It’s apparently still not available here. We’re hoping this will be sorted out soon.
Congratulations and warmest regards, x

Hi Mike,
Hope you are well! Congratulations, writing and publishing a book is amazing.

I am hoping for an update as I still cannot find your book on Apple Books in either format (I’m Australian, so guessing still having issues). I am trying to be good by only buying digitally.

I am looking forward to reading/hearing when everything is sorted.

Sending warm regards from Australia

As a cult survivor of Landmark Worldwide (which is just basically Scientology lite, seeing as Werner Erhard knicked and repackaged a whole load of Scientology’s methodology/content and now has the gall to pretend he’s a victim of Scientology’s Fair Game policy and that’s why he’s not in the US, purlease…) and One Taste thanks so much for all you do in bringing the world’s attention to the evils and corruption of groups like Scientology.

You and Leah Remini’s badass advocacy, resilience, sheer determination and joyous sense of humour have really inspired me to keep going as an outspoken cult awareness advocate. No matter how many deniers and setbacks I face doing so, no matter how supposedly scary the Landmark legal team are, and no matter how much people may judge me.

I know it’s worth standing up for what’s right and what will ultimately help people like me who are neurodivergent (ADHD/Autism) and marginalised and so face extra dangers in being subject to these awful group’s manipulations. If not me who else! And it’s looking at people like you which gives me the extra push to know I’m doing a good thing.

Please feel free anyone reading this to check out this podcast I did as well for more on this:https://onbelief.fireside.fm/318. And add me on Twitter or LinkedIn (which has more videos on talks I’ve done about the link between vulnerbality to cult abuse, marginalised identities and neurodivegence), my name’s Priscilla Eyles. Any help spreading awareness of this issue is really appreciated.

I really really hope they sort the audiobook issue soon! It’s an accessibility issue for me too what with ADHD and am absoultely desperate to listen to it, as soon as I heard about it.

Maybe we can get #ReleaseTheRinderTapes trending in Europe and Australia! And all pester Audible daily/weekly etc till they sort it out. It’s almost as if they have Scientologists behind the scenes putting spanners in the works!

Thanks again for all you do Mike, truly inspiring with all the crap you’ve had to face and the family disconnetion. Look forward to the Mark Twain event with the awesome Tony Ortega in January! 🙂
