The Turning: The Sisters Who Left
The Turning is a podcast inspired by Mary Johnson’s memoir, An Unquenchable Thirst. Weaving poignant, sometimes startling stories with a gorgeous soundscape, host Erika Lantz of Rococo Punch interviews Mary and several other former Missionaries of Charity.
Rolling Stone announced the release of The Turning. In The New York Times, Michelle Goldberg calls The Turning both compelling and fascinating, noting: “What makes The Turning unique is its focus on the internal life of the Missionaries of Charity.”
Salon quotes host Erika Lantz: "I really am interested in stories that don't have a clear right and wrong." The Turning takes a deep look behind the walls of a secretive order, finding a culture of charity and prayer, suffering and forbidden love, abuse and betrayal. Can you truly give yourself fully to God or will your humanity get to you first?
New episodes drop every Tuesday. Mary Johnson is a consulting producer of “The Turning.”
