Alexander Barnes-Ross, also known as Apostate Alex, is a former Scientologist turned activist and enemy of Scientology. Alex is one of the most outspoken critics of Scientology in the UK, by organising protests against the church and making people aware of the trauma he faced whilst in the Church of Scientology. Scientology isn't very fond of him, or the podcasts that allow him to tell his story. This is Mad That.
