    EPISODE 1

    Donegal's Cultish History: The Screamers (Part 1)

    On the North West Coast of Ireland is a small fishing village called Burtonport. On the surface, it is similar to many of Ireland's more rural villages however scratch the surface and you will hear stories of the cults that called it home for 20 years. Between 1974 and 1992, two cults chose Burtonport as their home, and brought controversy, news reporters and unrest to the otherwise sleepy village. Today we will look at The Atlantis Commune, otherwise known as "The Screamers"; a group that came from the UK to Donegal to practice primal scream therapy, led by Jenny James.

    EPISODE 3

    Japa Meditation Ireland: A Cult of Abuse

    Cults are not always whacky organised communities that live in a commune... in fact, many modern-day cults exist right under our noses. New-age spiritual gurus have gentrified many of the legitimate practices of the East, like meditation and yoga, and used them to gain the trust of vulnerable individuals. Dennis Curran and Shashi Dubey were two of these gurus, who started Japa Meditation Ireland, and used it to abuse its members, financially, mentally and sexually.
