Episode 2: Janet Reitman

Rolling Stone contributing editor and Inside Scientology author Janet Reitman talks with Aaron Lammer. 

“I’m very open about the fact that I know nothing…. Every reporter should admit you know nothing, and when you do, there will be people that will take pity on you, and try to teach you. And then you have to be shrewd enough to know who’s spinning you, and who is being genuine.”
