Truly unique podcast and not a constant advertisement like many others. Investigative journalism is alive and well here folks.
I only recently discovered Scott’s channel and I am obsessed. The amount of detail that you give in each subject is awesome!
I was previously familiar with Carney's book on the Wim How method (which is an excellent read, by the way) and after I finished that book, I picked up his "The Enlightenment Trap" which I found to be a genuinely thought-provoking exploration of the modern obsession with spiritual enlightenment and self-improvement. From there, I started to dig into his YouTube channel, all of which I found similarly engaging, especially the “How to Start a Cult” episode. I find Carney to be uniquely adept at weaving his personal experiences and his in-depth research to expose the points he’s arguing. Throughout his work, I feel he raises crucial questions about spirituality unchecked devotion to charismatic leaders, and in the same vain as other journalists I enjoy, I find him answering the questions I ask myself as I read. Highly recommended.
The one-person podcast format is all too often overly stilted and scripted. Scott is able to breathe life into it like a professor of the college class that you actually enjoyed attending. He effortlessly weaves in personal anecdotes into larger stories and the result is seamless. Interview formats, or two/person pods, only seem to exist to make up for a single host’s lack of charisma or things to say. Scott doesn’t need anyone else. He is a spectacular storyteller. This is a five star podcast.
