Our take on The Sunshine Place podcast

The Sunshine Place by Susan Downey and Robert Downey Junior narrates the famous story of Synanon, known as the "Miracle on the beach", which claimed to help individuals with heroin addiction. However, a more significant claim arose not long before that Synanon had the ability and power to help you get solutions to all of your problems. The podcast explains how this place became famous and the events that led to its fall. It is exceptionally well researched, and the narration is very engaging.
