In Part 2 of our conversation with Sean Miller, we get into the messy business of figuring out what to keep—and what to leave behind—after spending 36 years as a Jehovah’s Witness. Sean talks about the anger, grief, and identity crisis that came with leaving, and how learning to incorporate the good parts of his past without excusing the harmful ones helped him move forward. We dig into the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ handling of sexual abuse allegations, shifting positions on medical care and mental health, and the mindfuck of discovering that the people and institution demanding impossible standards from you don’t always hold themselves to those same standards.
We also talk about how Sean found a way to rebuild through art. He shares the inspiration behind his book Novice Enthusiasm, his comic project Kinsugi, and his goal of creating a roadmap for anyone trying to reconnect with their creativity after religious trauma. Plus, we get into the surprisingly culty potential of AI and one very committed—and ridiculous—Jehovah’s Witness parking-lot grift involving the magic number 1914. Because apparently deconstruction can be healing and useful at the beach.
Be sure to pick up Sean’s book, Novice Enthusiasm: Belief, Rebuilt. Built One Line at a Time, visit his website, SeanGregoryMiller.com, and follow him on Instagram @seangregorymiller.
Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of religious trauma, domestic and sexual abuse and institutional cover-ups, mental health, coercive control, grief, and estrangement from family.

Tech companies are working with the fossil fuel industry to push unnecessary data center projects while misrepresenting the climate impact — and governments are letting it all happen. Ketan Joshi joins Paris Marx to discuss how the data center buildout is driving a surge in fossil fuel investment, and how it’s all playing out in Australia.
Ketan Joshi is a climate writer and data analyst based in Oslo working with climate and environmental groups.

Quand on parle de cancer du sein, on pense aux traitements, à la chimio, aux opérations...
Mais qu'est-ce que la maladie change dans le rapport à son propre corps ? À ses cheveux, à ses seins, à sa féminité, à son désir d'enfant ?
Pour Octobre Rose mené par Ruban Rose, Michèle et Louve me racontent deux parcours très différents, mais une même épreuve : apprendre à se reconnaître dans un corps que la maladie a profondément bouleversé.

Zoé a 17 ans quand elle entre en prépa littéraire. Elle découvre la coloc, la vie étudiante et les cours de latin captivants de Monsieur H : le prof que tous les élèves admirent. Quand il commence à la contacter en dehors des cours pour lui parler de poésie et de théâtre, elle se sent spéciale.
Des années plus tard, Zoé comprend qu’elle n’était pas la seule.
Les anciennes favorites de Monsieur H se retrouvent pour mener l’enquête : Combien d’élèves ont été les proies de ce professeur ? Et surtout : comment a-t-il pu multiplier les relations amoureuses avec des étudiantes sans que personne ne l’arrête ?

Pourquoi c’est si compliqué d’être un bon amoureux ? Pourquoi, dans les couples hétéros, c’est encore souvent une femme qui pense aux courses, aux rendez-vous et à ce qui ne va pas dans le couple ? Pourquoi est-ce si difficile, pour certains hommes, de parler de leurs émotions, d’écouter vraiment ou simplement de voir tout ce que l’autre fait ?
Alors, comment faire mieux ? Comment apprendre à être plus à l’écoute, à prendre sa part du quotidien, à parler de ce qu’on ressent et à se remettre en question ? Bref, comment devenir un meilleur partenaire ? Et comment savoir quand une dispute, une jalousie ou un comportement de contrôle commence à dépasser les limites ?
Pour en parler, Tal Madesta reçoit Ynaée Benaben, cofondatrice et directrice générale de l'association En avant toute(s), autrice de Comment on s’aime (2023, Eds. Mango) et Serge Hefez, psychiatre et psychanalyste, auteur de La danse du couple (2010, Hachette) et de C’est quoi l’amour ? (2026, Bayard Jeunesse).

This week is part two with advocate and therapist Renee Spencer, who sued the Jesus Christians, aka the “kidney cult,” after they recruited her daughter. Last week, Renee explained how she realized her daughter Ellicia’s communication was being controlled, and this week she picks back up on Ellicia’s mysterious whereabouts around the world--going wherever the group sent her, cutting off emotional contact, and virtually disappearing from Renee's life.
Renee shares how the group’s leader, Dave McKay, began accusing her of being a Satan worshipper, which was used to demonize her and keep Ellicia away. Renee shares how she’s connected with other parents, what she learned about some of the things her daughter has been through (including their highly punitive “grievance” system), and how Renee finally took Dave McKay to court.

More To The Story: Back in August, Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon did something few outside the state saw coming: She won Florida's Democratic US Senate primary. Her victory sent shock waves through the political world not only because her opponent Alex Vindman’s war chest dwarfed hers 19 to 1, but also because Nixon ran as a Democratic Socialist. Today, she’s one of a number of candidates around the country affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America who could be elected to Congress this November. The sudden rise in the DSA’s popularity is reshaping the Democratic Party and America’s political landscape. On this week’s More To The Story, Nixon talks to host Al Letson about going from community activist and comic book co-author to upstart US Senate candidate, being “the biggest thorn” in Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ side, and whether her progressive message can win in deep-red Florida.
Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson

Senate Democrats signal they may be open to impeaching Pete Hegseth after the election if the House has the votes for it.
Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss why that trial would be a great use of a new Democratic Senate majority, Trump saying that the American economy is "the best in the world" despite record-setting diesel prices and stunningly low consumer sentiment, and Mike Johnson's new claim that opposition to new data centers is "a Chinese psy-op."
Plus, AI labs pause development of their most advanced models (over the president's objections), Ambassador to China David Perdue admits that Trump tried to sell weapons to Xi Jinping, the White House keeps running political ads with taxpayer money, and Fox News's Greg Gutfeld sounds off — on overweight sex workers.

Before her historic Speakership, even before she got to the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi worked for years outside the spotlight as an official in the California Democratic party while she raised her family in San Francisco. That
was until 1987, when tragic circumstances led her to do something she hadn’t considered before: run for Congress. Her first hurdle? A city in crisis and a motivated opponent from a community impacted by a deadly epidemic.
Sean Miller grew up as a Jehovah's Witness golden boy—son of a highly respected elder, raised in what he calls a nearly perfect JW family, and groomed from infancy to be the best Witness in the room. The only problem? Nobody asked Sean. He wanted to shred guitar and make art, but was too busy passing an invisible bar exam at five years old, with love that felt conditional on performance.
We get Sean's full origin story: how a rock band, a spiritually feisty Pentecostal girl, and a forbidden relationship got him disfellowshipped the first time—which, for the uninitiated, means treated like you're dead by everyone you've ever known, effective immediately. He got reinstated, got married, started a family, and lasted about 10 more years before his ex-wife picked up Crisis of Conscience and blew the lid off everything. Cue the Australian Royal Commission testimony on child sexual abuse within the Jehovah's Witnesses, the laundry folding, the sobbing, and the full worldview collapse.
We also get into the ex-JW community, cult hopping, and the real danger of trying to fill the cult-shaped hole in your heart. Part 2 brings the book, the art, and the constructive use of all that very justified anger.
Be sure to pick up Sean’s book, Novice Enthusiasm: Belief, Rebuilt. Built One Line at a Time, visit his website, SeanGregoryMiller.com, and follow him on Instagram @seangregorymiller.
Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of shunning, child sexual abuse institutional cover-up, and religious coercion.

Last Modified 09/27/2026 16:20:10 by Freedom ControllerIn this episode of Neon Liberalism, Samantha Hancox-Li argues that Donald Trump's "raids" on Iran and Venezuela reflect structural factors that are driving us towards a more chaotic and lawless world in which "neither peace nor war" becomes increasingly common.
Live from the Texas Tribune Festival, Jon, Tommy, Lovett, and Dan discuss the dream of a blue Texas and how the campaigns there are doing, from James Talarico's debate challenge to Ken Paxton, to Gina Hinojosa's momentum in the governor's race, to Donald Trump's decision to stay away entirely.
Then they discuss Trump's special welcome — and ballroom tour — for Chinese President Xi Jinping and an assorted cast of tech oligarchs, and the Republican Party's growing frustration with their underperformance in typically purple states like North Carolina and Georgia.
Then, award-winning Tejano artist Bobby Pulido, the Democratic nominee in Texas's must-win 15th district, stops by to talk about his race to unseat Trump-backed Rep. Monica De La Cruz.

Last year, arts organizations and cultural institutions across the US received an alarming message: Their federal grants had been canceled.
The letters said their projects no longer aligned with new federal priorities and that money was being redirected toward the Trump administration’s agenda. The grants had funded museum exhibits, public art programs, historical research, and community arts initiatives.
Angela Sutton and a team of archaeologists were in the middle of excavating a long-forgotten Black neighborhood in Nashville when she got the news: “Just got an email out of the blue saying, ‘Please stop. You're done.’”
This week on Reveal, reporter Jonathan Jones travels to Nashville and beyond to meet the people living with the fallout of arts funding cuts. Some organizations are scaling back their work. Others worry artists will censor themselves just to survive. But many are fighting back.
Since this show first aired in March 2026, federal courts ordered the National Endowment for the Humanities to reverse mass grant cancellations and struck down the National Endowment for the Arts’ restrictions on “gender ideology.” While some NEH funds have resumed, no retroactive NEA money was restored, and the Trump administration has appealed both rulings.

Dan and Jon react to Republican candidates running away from Trump on Iran, then break down the latest polls — including a surprising Times/Siena result from Maine — to take a sober look at the range of outcomes (all of them good!) that are reasonable to expect.
Plus, a big win for freedom of the press and an eye-opening new warning about furries in the cockpit. Then, Tommy talks to activist and athlete Colin Kaepernick about life after the NFL, and his new book "The Perilous Fight."

Melissa Archer's story in 5F continues with a “deliverance,” a session conducted over speakerphone ( audio now public through Be Scofield's reporting) that turned deeply personal fast, and a follow-up call where the "prophet" asked if she was "wet" and how "thirsty" she was. That was a major crack, but not the exit.
What happened there is a masterclass in coercive control: a middle-of-the-night break-in, gunshots, and a wide-open back door that GeorDavie waved off after claiming he'd checked the "spiritual realm"; plainclothes "cops" recasting what she knew she heard; Wi-Fi that mysteriously went dead; and a one-on-one that ended with Melissa going limp—"surrendering," exactly as instructed. She came home blaming herself and tripling down, until her friend disclosed she had been assaulted and the group's response was pure pattern: Catherine called the victim a liar, and GeorDavie denied the sexual-assault allegations while reframing the recordings as a third-language misunderstanding. Melissa went to the FBI, wrote about the experience in 2022 to almost no response, and is finally being heard now, with a message for anyone judging victims: when people are taught from childhood to surrender to spiritual authority, “you're indoctrinated from an early age to be able to join a cult.”

On imagine facilement les hommes autour du barbecue, une bière à la main et un gros steak dans l’assiette. Mais pourquoi la viande est-elle si souvent associée à la virilité ? Et pourquoi manger des animaux est-il considéré comme une manière de « faire homme » ?
Existe-t-il un lien entre la domination masculine et l’exploitation animale ? Et si oui, que peuvent avoir à se dire les luttes féministes et celles pour les droits des animaux ?
Pour en parler, Victoire Tuaillon reçoit Axelle Playoust-Braure et Yves Bonnardel, auteurs de Solidarité animale (2020, La Découverte).

Nina* ment compulsivement. Enfant, elle s’inventait des allergies et enjolivait sa réalité. Par peur de dire “non” ou pour plaire aux autres, mais sans jamais être démasquée. En 2021, Nina s’envole au Canada pour ses études supérieures. Là-bas, personne ne la connaît, elle a une page blanche pour créer sa propre réalité, et elle se met à inventer des mensonges de plus en plus gros. Une manière d’attirer l’attention, et notamment d’Elio*, avec qui elle entame une relation. Jusqu’au jour où ses bobards deviennent trop lourds. Nina est prise au piège. Mais comment rétablir la vérité, sans prendre le risque de perdre tout ce qu’elle a construit ?

En 2019, E. Jean Carroll a témoigné de violences sexuelles dont elle a été victime, au milieu des années 1990, lorsque Donald Trump était promoteur immobilier à New York. Pendant des années, le président des États-Unis l’a insultée, l’a accusée de mentir et de participer à une chasse aux sorcières.
Mais la justice lui a donné raison et a condamné le milliardaire à lui payer 83 millions de dollars de dommages-intérêts, qu’elle souhaite reverser en grande partie à toutes les causes que ce président déteste.
Ce 24 septembre, E. Jean Carroll publie “Not my type”. La femme qui a fait plier Trump (Le Cherche midi).

This week is part 1 with advocate and therapist Renee Spencer, whose daughter was recruited into the Jesus Christians: a group commonly referred to as the “kidney cult” for their practice of encouraging members to donate their kidneys to strangers. Renee shares about her and her daughter Ellicia’s close relationship, how Ellicia suddenly stopped contacting Renee, and why Renee tried to be accepting of her daughter’s choices–even while slowly learning that Ellicia had joined a mysterious group of traveling Christians and was being isolated from her former life.
She explains how Ellicia was initially recruited through YouTube, how Ellicia told Renee she was engaged to someone from the group after just a couple of months, and the minimal contact Renee was allowed when she visited. They discuss what she learned about Ellicia’s new husband Joseph, the whipping “trials” the group’s leader had organized to teach Joseph’s family a lesson, and how Renee discovered that her daughter’s communication had been far more controlled than she even realized.

More To The Story: President Donald Trump’s second term has often felt like an exercise in mass distraction. As soon as he’s directing people to pay attention to one issue like the Iran war or immigration, he’s already moved on to false claims about widespread voter fraud, taking over Greenland, or building a massive arch in the nation’s capital. In the new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, New York Times reporter and co-author Jonathan Swan has tried to make sense of Trump’s unprecedented tenure by bringing readers inside the room where major decisions happen. And Swan says the loyalists Trump has surrounded himself with in his second term have made Trump’s overwhelming and exhausting presidency possible. On this week’s More To The Story, Swan talks about the immense challenges of covering the Trump administration, how the Jeffrey Epstein scandal sent the White House into crisis mode behind closed doors, and why he’s not eager to write another book about the president anytime soon.

Mardi 22 septembre, le gouvernement de Sébastien Lecornu a annoncé des mesures contre la hausse des prix, en premier lieu ceux des carburants, qui explosent à la pompe. Il présente par ailleurs ces jours-ci un budget à nouveau austéritaire, avec des clins d’œil notables à l’extrême droite.
Dans « À l’air libre », débat sur le budget, la vie chère, les salaires et ce qu’il faudrait faire, maintenant et après, pour répondre à l’urgence sociale et préparer l’avenir dans un climat déréglé.
Une émission présentée par Mathieu Magnaudeix, préparée avec Raphaël Gribe Marquis, Mathieu Mialaret et Ellen Salvi.

Major television networks halt White House pool coverage after Trump announces that he's banning journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.
Jon and Tommy react to Trump and JD Vance's justifications for the decision, before breaking down the details of the Ellisons' deal with the California attorney general that will allow the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger to proceed.
They then discuss the Iran war expanding to other countries, the president's call for an "AI Force" as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent negotiates with China, the Republican Party's growing cash advantage in the midterms, and Trump's announcement that his triumphal arch will now also serve as a military installation.
Then, Cait Conley, the Democratic nominee in New York's 17th District, stops by the studio to talk to Dan about her race to unseat Republican Rep. Mike Lawler.
