I love a good podcast for long days in the sun. And this came at just the right time. I have read 5 books in the last two weeks. My eyes need a rest! While searching for a good podcast, I stumbled upon this. I am very picky about my podcasts. I like True Crime and I like it sounding professional, very well researched and quality guests. This podcast checked all the boxes. In fact, I listened to the first episode TWICE so far. If you watched Leah Remini and Mike Render's show on A & E, Scientology and the aftermath , you are ahead of the game. If you haven't seen it, it is a MUST as I have said in the past . Listening to the podcast alone is not enough. So if you have not seen the show or you're diving deep here like myself, the show is streaming on Hulu . This Podcast digs a bit deeper. It's like the companion book. You need both! What is Fair Game? A term used to describe the taking care of "Threats and enemies" of Scientology. Mike Render e...

View this post on Instagram Mornings are the hardest. I forget you’re gone. I can’t cry because of the fear that I will never stop. A pain that’s new to me. You. There are no words for you. Angel is the closest I could think of. Pure light. Baby brother. Best friend. Wild man. Intellectual. Witness to my life. Twin soul. Protector. Too sensitive for this harsh world. I hope you give me strength to endure the giant hole you’ve left in my heart. I hope you give me the strength to eat. I hope you’re cradled in love. I hope you feel my love. I hope you feel god. You are god. I can’t believe you’ve left me. Not you sweet Ben Ben. Anyone but you. I guess this is true heartbreak. I hope we meet again.

View this post on Instagram Benjamin Storm, YOU. Always happy in the sun and water. And a laugh that made everyone happier. You gave love to anyone who needed it. You were wise like a thousand year old man, but silly as a 5 year old. You always said your favorite tarot card was the hermit, cause you could relate. You made the best jokes, and always broke the rules. You were my favorite person from the moment I met you. I wish we could’ve kept you forever Ben Ben.

Musician Brandon Howard spoke to People Magazine about his friend Benjamin Keough's tragic death. "Sometimes he struggled with depression, which is a serious thing with [the coronavirus pandemic] and everything happening right now and everybody being locked in the house," Howard tells PEOPLE . "It takes a lot. I wish I could have been there." Howard says the pressure to live up to the Presley family name "absolutely" contributed to Keough's struggles. "That kind of pressure is definitely a part of what happened," he says. "It's a tough thing when you have a lot of pressure with your family and living up to a name and an image . It's a lot of pressure. It's almost like you're pressured into having to be a musician, having to be an actor. It was good for him to go around the world and discover himself and have his own friends. You never know what triggers it. You never know ... It's so random." Keough was a...

Many are wondering if Ben was an active member of the church of Scientology as well as the entire family. Lisa Marie was introduced to Scientology in the 70's by her mother Priscilla. Lisa soon met her future husband, Danny Keough who is still a Scientologist today.

Only nine people attended the event, including her mother, Priscilla Presley, who released this official statement following the wedding: "Lisa, 20, married musician Daniel Keough, 23, her boyfriend for the past three years. I am thrilled for Lisa Marie. Danny is a great guy, and I couldn’t be happier for the two of them. The couple will be honeymooning for the next three months at an undisclosed location." Danny’s brother was married to a Scientology teacher and Danny’s mother Janet started a private Scientology academy with second husband Alan Hollander...
