They are familiar names, led by Massimo Introvigne, one of the main beneficiaries of much scientology funding over the years.  We did a Fair Game podcast about these cult apologists with Chris Shelton The reason for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This week we talk to our old friend Chris Shelton about cult apologists. These are the people who make a career (often lucrative) out of offering expert academic opinions in support of &#8220;New Religious Movements&#8221; &#8212; cults. It&#8217;s a racket that scientology has used to gain credibility. We cover a lot of ground here. Chris [&#8230;]]]></description>
