Absolute great stuff

Found this podcast with Cults, and damn what a find, love the more personnel approach to the whole cult aspect. Great work

Bait kitten triangle ,

This show is AMAZING!

Social history, religious commentary, philosophical contemplation, psychological analysis.... this show has it ALL!

And it’s presented with compassion and humanity. I think that this show is the next S-Town, the next Serial....

I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
