Customer Reviews
I want to join the CC cult
Listening to this podcast is so entertaining!! It’s been very validating for a lot of things I’ve felt when it comes to some of these topics, so it’s refreshing to hear their fun dialogue and well researched opinions. Keep ‘em coming!!
Common Cult
I have truly enjoyed this podcast! I love your communication style. You share just enough about yourselves that makes a listener feel they know both of you and care about you without making your lives the main focus. It is just the right mix of conversation, information and opinion. I love that you both seem open minded but also share your biases. You have introduced me to so many topics. Look forward to what you have in store for the future podcasts.
Binge worthy and hilarious
OMG these two have me binging all of their episodes and laughing all the way. I love how they talk about all different types of cults. Now they have me doubling checking all the things I do to make sure I didn’t accidentally join a cult. I mean is yoga and reading books really a cult. Hmm 🤔 …. Maybe 🤔
