Customer Reviews
Great!
Just found you and the podcast is fabulous!
(In)Sanity Refresher
The his show is one of a few I look forward to every week and went back in the catalogue to listen to. It’s always interesting to hear multiple takes of a case or a cult or any situation really. Spencer Henry does a great job of researching a variety of subjects and is a joy to listen to.
Love love love! More detail please?
I absolutely love cult leader! My only “complaint” is that they are so short! The episodes are so interesting,but I need more details🤍
