Louise Shekter has written some dynamite pieces for us at the Underground Bunker. She not only was in some amazing places to witness Scientology history during her tenure (1969-2000), but she’s a terrific writer of evocative prose. We thought it was time to bring her on the podcast, and we told her we had a special subject in mind. Louise is a member of a pretty select club: She worked closely, for years, with both Scientology’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and the man who succeeded him, David Miscavige.
Louise Shekter wrote several of my all-time favourite articles at the Underground Bunker. She blew us away with her memory for detail and the wonderful way she wrote. I'm so excited to listen to today's podcast!
I knew Rona Shekter and Mark Shekter during the 7 years I was involved in Scientology in Toronto. Hopefully they're both out of Scientology as well. I assume Louise is related to both of them. It was quite interesting hearing Louise's experience with both LRH and Miscavige. LRH was a low-life but he was the lesser of the two evils.
Hey Tony, to answer your question, Jason Beghe was in a technical film about Sec Checking on the Space Ship. I think I watched it as part of my training for Level 2.

Superb podcast. Louise is so intelligent, so fascinating to listen to.
Louise Shekter is one of heroes, I worship her from afar. Read her previous writings, she has a wonderful way with words.
