    The Truth About Charles Manson w/Michael Thompson
    2022/08/13
    This episode is the first of its kind on The Damage Done Podcast.This type of episode is going to be a new type of episode that we will release mixed in with our typical format of episodes, which follow a redemption arc.

    This episode and the ones that follow, are for the purpose of illustrating the historical context of certain inmates Michael Thompson has spent time with, as well as to catalogue Michael Thompson's extensive experience behind the iron gates. These episodes aim to be informative and entertaining to the listener and/or viewer.

    This episode, aims to dispel the myth of Charles Manson. Michael Thompson spent many years in prison, living in the same unit with Manson and the stories contained in this episode, the perspective given are from Michaels personal experiences.

    Due to time constraints we only covered a fraction of Michael's experience, depending on the feedback from this episode we may do a part two.

    Also, comedian Bruce Gray is featured in this episode. Bruce has extensive knowledge of Manson and we all agreed would add some levity to this episode, so before you hop in the comments asking why he is here...that is why he is here!


    We will continue to improve each and every episode. Thank you to all of our supporters that have helped us surpass 1 million views in under 25 episodes. What a fantastic start!

    Lance and Mason speak with former NHL Superstar Theo Fleury.

    "Theo Fleury is perhaps best known for his time on the ice. But off the rink, his life once carried the markings of a troubled childhood, abuse and coping with emotional pain through addictive and self-destructive behaviours.

    Today, Theo defines himself as a victor over trauma and addiction, and a facilitator to those still trying to find their way. His best-selling books, Playing with Fire and Conversations with a Rattlesnake, encourage open sharing and provide practical tools that people seeking help can personally use. These tools are also useful to those who want to lead a productive conversation, called “Real Conversations”, with anybody else experiencing trauma."
