Featured Article: Delve into the Darker Side of Human Nature with the 15 Best Podcasts About Cults


Cults are fascinating. There’s something curiosity-inducing about stories of ordinary people who get wrapped up in groupthink that quickly veers into dangerous territory. Part of the appeal is because we think it could never happen to us, even though we suspect, deep down, that it absolutely could. These listens explore the nature of cults, the figures who lead them, and the followers who have been lured into their orbits.

Love the pod

This creator dives deep into cults in a graceful way and by allowing the victims/ survivors tell their experiences in their own voices. This is great and I plan on listening to all the episodes. Good length episodes too.

Thank You

I have soaked in every episode of this podcast. To keep this topic alive, exposing mind control, religious abuse and other abusive behaviors by cults is a topic that we cannot let die. Thank you for having me on your show and caring about sharing my story. Our survivor voices matter. We need people like you to keep them alive. Thank you so much. Vennie Kocsis, author of "Cult Child" and survivor of Sam Fife's Move of God (SMOG) cult.

Host handles hot topic handily

In a podcast world where the subject matter is usually handled with a macabre interest, Kacey asks intelligent questions about cult psychology and history, roots for her guests' success, and adds keen observations. Her voice is calm and soothing and presence reassuring.
