The Rulo Cult
This week we’re looking into the story of a trucker-turned-prophet who used the villainous teachings of an evil reverend to build up a cult following of doomsday-preppers...how’s that for a sentence? In the 1980’s the small community of Rulo, Nebraska was disrupted by Mike Ryan and his cult followers who had built out a compound on a nearby hog farm. It wasn’t long before a string of thievery and moidah brought them down!

Customer Reviews
Die hard cult babe
I love this podcast SO much! Spencer is such a wonderful story teller and I truly feel like I’m in a room with my friend as they tell me a story when I listen. I have struggled to find an easy to listen to podcast with a host that I enjoy but baby this is it!
A great find!
I really enjoy this show because it’s all about storytelling and not about what tv shows are on or mercy for sale etc etc. The topics are timely and juicy, and the little liters are a nice mid week treat. Well done🎊
Free refills!
Remember: You don’t need cults; they need you.
You need Spencer.
He’ll slap that kool aid right out of your hand. 😘
