What is the dream podcast?
The Dream is the hit podcast from 2019 that really opened up the whole MLM topic on podcasts. In my view, it is essential listening for anyone interested in the world of MLMs. In 2012, the folks at NPR and This American Life did some great episodes on MLMs, entitled Wake Up Now.
Who is the recovering hunbot?
The Recovering Hunbot, Alanda Carter, is a former Beachbody, self-proclaimed hun who has already scored a number of high profile interviews. An anthropologist by trade and already responsible for causing big waves in the coaching circle of MLM, listen for the unique perspectives she offers, and her learn-as-you-go audio experience on Hey Hun, You Woke Up. She’s had cult experts, psychologists, former members and other anti-MLM activists on her pod, which hosts new interviews every week. This is an important rather unknown podcast series that shows a great deal of promise. Be sure to check out her episode with Robert Fitzpatrick who goes through some of the origin stories of MLMs that will appear in his upcoming book Ponzinomics.
Is NXIVM the worst MLM?
Karen Geier, mentioned above, also interviewed her on the On Belief podcast. NXIVM is just about the worst kind of MLM you will find, so it’s good to be aware of how it operated in the hopes of preventing anything like it from affecting anyone else again.
