Ryan and John review what is revealed in the recording

We listen to the recording provided by MormonLeaks.io

Ryan McKnight discusses the decision to release the recording on MormonLeaks.io

We are excited to release our interview with Tara Westover, author of the New York Times bestseller “Educated.” “[A] searing debut memoir… Westover recounts her upbringing with six siblings on an Idaho farm dominated by her father…who tried to live off the grid, kept four children (including the author) out of school…and stockpiled supplies and guns for the end-time…When she finally escaped the toxic atmosphere of dogma, suspicion, and patriarchy to attend college and then grad school at Cambridge, her identity crisis precipitated a heartbreaking rupture. Westover’s vivid prose makes this saga of the pressures of conformity and self-assertion that warp a family seem both terrifying and ordinary.”
