This psychedelic mystery thrill-ride is an Alice in Wonderland glimpse into the darkness of pop culture and the unholy beings who inhabit it. The serialized story follows an investigation into a silicon valley cult and it's connection to some supernatural murders. It’s metaphysical, enchanting, scary, at times darkly humorous, and always captivating.

A bingeable supernatural beast of a podcast
I grinned all the way through the first two episodes because they were sooo unexpected and fun. There’s NOTHING ELSE LIKE THIS! We’ve got mystery, intrigue, celebrities, cults, 90's nostalgia, unearthly stuff…and the story is still unfolding. This slightly alternate world is strangely comforting right now. It’s an adventurous escape with a host who is totally relatable. Not sure exactly where we’re going, but that's the greatness of the show! I'm loving the twists and turns of this wild, masterful ride.
Interesting, worth a listen
If you find you might benefit from a bit of a departure from your scientific rationalist reality tunnel, this maybe a nice vehicle for some such respite.
Ambitious material, sometimes intriguing and occasionally disjointed, adequately woven into an unusual narrative peppered with some compelling concepts...wrapping up this set of obliquely-related yarns would be an impressive task. Time will tell just how.
A cult, fictional depictions of real celebrities, magick, murder...
Deity hiding in the Web?
Honestly it could go any direction but I will keep an eye on it to see if it earns the remaining stars by my own humble metric.
Sexy Pychedelic Cyberpunk Cult Goodness
Really awesome listen. Such a unique piece of audio fiction. I’m always looking for new trippy cult stuff and this happens to be the first audiodrama that has even mentioned technospiritualism. It’s just awesome, give it a listen.
