Description
Author and publisher Rebekah Borucki joins the Conspirituality team as our first co-host for this episode. She’s got a story to tell: the culture of her publisher, Hay House, was so resistant to taking a position on the racist attitudes of some of their leading cash-cow authors that she ditched her contract and her job with the company as a diversity mentor.We’ll be talking about the money and politics of New Age media, as well as editorial standards, ghostwriting, cult apologetics, and the responsibility of publishers to deplatform authors that are hurtling toward QAnon. New Age media isn’t all love and light—it’s a pathway into consumers’ vulnerability, and sometimes a recruitment gateway for cults. Also this week: Derek interviews Dr Jay Mohan on his gruelling COVID front-line work as an interventional cardiologist in a Detroit suburb.02:13 Get Your (Hay) House In Order1:14:24 Interview with Dr Jay MohanAll music by EarthRise SoundSystem (Duke Schommer + Derek Beres)Support Conspirituality on PatreonShow notesRebekah on toxic White Women WellnessRebekah on the silence of Hay House authorsRebekah on leaving Hay HouseA Critique of Abraham Hicks & the Law of AttractionCelery Juice: The big problem with a viral Instagram ‘cure
