Acerca de esta escucha

 Hosted by Tyler Measom and Liz Iacuzzi, Was I In A Cult? is a documentary-style podcast showcasing individuals who have been in, and most importantly, successfully left a cult. Told first-hand by the experiencer themself, these are raw, riveting and inspirational tales of what it means to be a survivor. Using levity and info-tainment, the show humanizes the cultic experience and may leave some of our listeners asking themselves…“Wait…Was I In A Cult?” If you or someone you know has been in a cult and want to share your story, contact us at info@wasiinacult.com. We'd love to hear from you.© 993922

  • Apocalyptic, New-Age, Nuclear Bunker Cult PT2: “Let the Bombs Descend”

    Apocalyptic, New-Age, Nuclear Bunker Cult PT2: “Let the Bombs Descend”
    May 26 2025

    When your mother is a self-proclaimed prophet claiming to channel the ascended master that is your deceased father as she prepares hundreds of followers for the end of the world, mother/son time isn’t baking cookies - it’s begging her not to summon nuclear holy fire so you can maybe live another day.


    In Part 2 of Sean Prophet’s quite literally unbelievable story, we enter the “end times” phase of CUT (Church Universal and Triumphant) - a group that, at its peak, had thousands of members, global spiritual centers, and over $50 million in real estate. We’ve got multi-million dollar underground bunkers, military-grade weapons, mass doomsday drills, and a mother decreeing her way out of a failed apocalypse that - spoiler - never came.


    Sean walks us through the harrowing logistics of leading hundreds of followers into bomb shelters, his mother’s unshakable belief in prophecy, and the moment he finally walked away - for good.


    _____


    Sean’s new memoir, My Cult, Your Cult, is out now. Order here.

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.

Great and relatable stories. I was one of Jehovahs Witnesses and it feels freeing hearing others escaping there cults and there progress now existing in the real world. Thanks for making this!

Great commentary!

My favorite new podcast. I hope to hear the stories of the hosts at some point down the road since they both mentioned they were also in cults...

Am I turning into a cult follower of this show??

These two hosts could read the instructions for something boring like a refrigerator manual and I would still listen! Such great banter and charisma while still telling experiences and details that sometimes aren’t so pleasant. Need more episodes!

Need more!

I've been listening since the very beginning. over the last few years. it's gotten better and better. their guests are always amazing. This is one of the few podcasts that I listen to all the way past the end credits because their banter is hilarious!
I really hope this podcast sticks around for a long time.

One of my faves

Disclaimer I am a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Some of the things they say are doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Also BYU Provo does allow shorts on campus, but BYU Idaho doesn’t allow shorts in campus. I know that doesn’t really matter, but just saying not every they said about the mainstream The Church of Jesusu Christ of Latter-day Saints. I can’t say what the TLC believe. I do know that for entertainment they embellished some of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints beliefs. The main doctrines of the Church are based upon the Bible. There is a great book called, “Biblical Roots of Mormonism.” If you want to know the real beliefs maybe go to a better source. I do enjoy listening to podcasts and books about cults.

Interesting, but some things were embellished
