Great podcast. Tragic story.
Confused

Many assumptions are made that we are to know the background of this cult or how the leader came to be - found it difficult to follow though the premise was interesting.
Disappointed

I really wanted to hear this story but it was not delivered or organized very well. The same information was repeated multiple times, audio clips of interviews were impossible to understand & narrator failed to clarify and string events together. What was shared could have been done in a couple episodes instead of hours of repetitive audio and information.
Too repetitive!

I thought this was an interesting story but the repetitiveness was confusing and in the end I had to give up.
