“I’m very selective in my choices for what I choose to listen to, and follow only 2 podcasts. Cults is so sound in their content, delivery, and research. Easy to understand layout, well-constructed, and what sounds like professionally produced. Podcasts accompany me while I am engaged in other...”Read full review »

“Just listened to one episode, picked a topic I was familiar with to test it. There were two factual errors, an easy google away. The lies made the story sound more disturbing, which such stories hardly need. This pod is clearly for entertainment ONLY with no regard for how many people might be...”Read full review »

“I love the show but am really baffled by something. I see people commenting that they are upset that this show moved to Spotify yet clearly in the description of the show it says “Cults is a Spotify Original from Parcast,” as in SPOTIFY CREATED THE SHOW with Parcast!
Any-whoooo, great show. All...”Read full review »

“This show has a lot of interesting stories and I like the pacing.
But if you’re going to have a show about cult psychology you need to have an actual psychologist. It’s totally not cool for Vanessa to present herself as a psychology expert if she doesn’t have any legitimate credentials, no...”Read full review »

“I LOVE this show!!!

Also having someone explain some of the...”Read full review »

“Was interested until I got to the FLDS episode. I don’t know if it was due to a lack of research or if it’s bias on the part of crew but to say Jospeh smith wasn’t a cult leader is untrue and harmful. The man was both fraud and megalomaniac and the church leadership went to great lengths to hide...”Read full review »

“Corny voice actors and lame attempts at “explaining” psychological terms to you come off as fake and condescending, respectively. Just like all other Parcasts, this one’s too glib and phony to be tolerable. Too bad, since the stories chosen are all interesting by themselves.
Stop talking down...”Read full review »
