    The Ant Hill Kids

    A 2 part story of one of the most horrific Cults in modern times. An exploration into what drives the leaders and the followers, and how much abuse the followers will endure before saying enough is enough. This was quite hard to record, and that explains why I'm joined by Richard for this... Mark would absolutely not make it to the end. It was a close call for us, too. Part 2 will be released next week, and fair warning... it's a rough ride.
