On this week’s Please Explain feature, we’ll take an in-depth look at Scientology. It's been in the news lately, thanks to a few celebrities, and we’ll take some time to find out what it's all about. We'll be speaking with Dr. Douglas Cowan, Associate Professor of Religion and Sociology at The University of Missouri, and James Verini, a Los Angeles based journalist who contributed to a recent four-part series on Scientology for the Internet publication Salon.com.
