DPN Featured Episode: Relationscapes – Coming of Age in a Cult and Beyond

This month, Dialogue Journal Podcast is featuring Relationscapes, the podcast previously known as Family Proclamations. Relationscapes is about “Exploring the ever-changing terrain of relationships, gender, and sexuality. Award-winning journalist Blair Hodges talks to the best thinkers about who we are and how we connect with each other.”

In this episode Guinevere Turner joins us to talk about her fascinating memoir, When the World Didn’t End.

“One January day in 1975, seven-year-old Guinevere Turner put on her best dress, hugged her favorite toy tightly, and waited for the spaceship to arrive. The world was ending and she would be saved, spirited away to Venus with the rest of her enormous and enlightened family.

When the prophecy failed, the cult carried on. But Guinevere would soon find herself thrown out into the world beyond, where things somehow became more nightmarish than before.

Note: This episode includes discussion of psychological manipulation and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.”
