Trailer Park Podcast - 27 March 2024: *"Jeannes Varieté" with Jeanne Drach of OH WOW Podcasts - Enjoy this trailer for "Jeannes Varieté," a German-language podcast hosted by Jeanne Drach of OH WOW Podcasts in Vienna, Austria.

This episode is voiced by Jeanne herself! She hits play on the trailer and then gives us an interpretation of it in English. If you're a dual English-German speaker, this episode is perfect for you. But if you don't understand German, no worries. Jeanne's got you covered with her translation. [okay, some feedback from myself. I am fascinated by podcasts that are in other languages, even though I can’t understand them, so I was fascinated by this. However, I wonder if the overlapping voices at different levels might be a bit much for some people, because even with English language shows, that can get in the way of me keeping up with what’s going on. Other than that, it sounds like a great show idea.]

Reese opens up about the challenges she faced, from the emotional desensitization she endured to her chilling recount of abuse and the community's severe repercussions for her cries for help. / Reese's story isn't just a tale of survival within Scientology's oppressive walls… [the difference between spirituality and religion. It is ridiculous that they believe that if you get ill that you are being punished for something that you have done wrong. My question - so, what did L Ron Hubbard (the founder of Scientology) do to deserve the stroke that killed him? All of her friends, family and everyone that she knew has now shunned her. The Aftermath Foundation. Having sex with a 24 year old church worker when she was 14 because there are no children in Scientology, only people in smaller bodies. She reported a fifty year old for abuse, and was reprimanded for reporting them. Her father has never spoken to her since reporting this. She should have called in the police! Dianetics.]
