Alisa Majube appeared on the podcast Behind the Bastards to discuss various historical topics and recommended several books related to the Unification Church and political scandals. Majube recommended Inside the League by Scott Anderson and Jon Lee Anderson as a source about the Unification Church, though co-host Robert Evans remarked that its structure could be difficult to follow. Continuing the focus on the church, Majube also recommended Bad Moon Rising by John Gorenfeld as another strong resource on the subject, an assessment with which Evans agreed. Additionally, Majube suggested Gifts of Deceit by Robert B. Boettcher to provide further reading on the Tongil Park scandal and the Korea Gate affair. Through these recommendations, Majube directed listeners toward detailed journalistic and historical investigations into political corruption and controversial religious movements, offering valuable reading materials for those seeking to understand the deeper contexts behind these complex historical events discussed during the episode.
