We offer an entertaining look at some of the big issues in history by examining public apologies of the famous and infamous. We’re looking at politicians, serial killers, actors, and you! Send us an apology you would like to make and we’ll read it on the podcast and give you the chance to redeem yourself or just get some guilt off your shoulders. We’re here for you, once a week, maybe more if you are really, really sorry.

It's still us and we are still on vacation! But have no fear, we have a classic fan favorite and will be back next week with a new episode and a whole lot of sorry for having been gone for two weeks!
Being number one is great, but being number two is pretty nice, too. Just ask Allison Mack. She was second in command of the NXIVM cult and the leader of a devoted group of women who called her "master" and did her bidding. Sounds great! Except it involved a cult and blackmail and sex-trafficking and branding and enslaving others. That all sounds pretty bad, but the bad parts were kept secret – so on the surface it still sounded pretty great! That is until NXIVM found itself in court and had to admit the secret parts out loud.
The truth comes spilling out this episode as NXIVM comes tumbling down – and we are here to make sense of all the nonsense as we examine the eternal question: “why would anyone ever do something this stupid ever?”
Future Juliette Update: Allison Mack received 3 years in prison and a $20,000 fine for her part in the NXIVM cult. Keith Raniere, the cult leader, is currently serving 120 years in prison but don’t worry, he’s writing a book about how he is innocent and completely misunderstood.
