Customer Reviews
(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🤍
Westboro Baptist
The story of this hate group has been around TOO long…with you speaking on it recently, it brings back memories from approx 12 years ago. Our local Baptist church was having a funeral for a young man. If recall correctly he had been a soldier and took his own life- military and suicide- prime picking for these people with so much hate to spew. Ugh! They show up- signs, bull horns, just a ridiculous scene. The local high school was directly across the street- so this church and this school have been on the same block for MANY years. The school transportation dept. took it upon themselves to surround the entire church with school busses. As family and friends were safely inside- the busses pulled around and blocked these people from getting closer and it reduced the noise so those inside could not hear them. It was an amazing show of support for local folks. Westboro never returned! Love your content Spencer!!
