“Great podcast. Very well researched and narrated. If you have an interest in the events at Waco you will have plenty of material from the US to examine. This aspect, from the UK, adds another dimension to understanding the phenomenon, as Waco is indeed a long way from the rainy streets of...”Read full review »

“Waco is fascinating. Cults are fascinating. The interviews in this show are interesting - but this series seems to meander. It’s a great story but the podcast doesn’t try to bring the audience in with ‘what happens next…’ In fact story here feels sluggish, and the interviewer’s questions are...”Read full review »

“Even the most basic information is wrong - it’s like they simply spoke to whomever they came across and took them at their word, without any type of research of verification. They trot out a lot of the rumours that have been disproven as fact, and ignore anything that could cast any of the...”Read full review »

“A great story. I remember those images on the news of Mount Carmel burning. It’s brilliant to hear the stories of those from Manchester who joined that cult. Love these Radio 5 live podcasts. Gripping, unbelievable human story of manipulation by a disillusioned David Kurresh.”

“An interesting subject, but it gets bogged down in overlong back stories, and too much descriptive detail and conversation as a way of building atmosphere leading up to important events. It needed pruning in lots of places so the narrative moved faster.”

BBC reporters break down the bread crumb trail of cult members attraction and then entrapment into this weird world in Waco Texas.

“Like many Brits I saw the Waco coverage and it is a memory. I didn’t appreciate that it involved so many Britons and that nearly a third of the victims were UK nationals. It leaves me very cold that religion can be used to create situations like this to occur. More than that though is the belief...”Read full review »

This is probably the best podcast I’ve listened to, and not only brings back the Waco siege that I remember from news reports, but also the dramatic and darkly disturbing behaviour of those at the centre of the Branch Davidion cult and the reckless use of US firepower...”Read full review »

Example - why was Bernadette not interviewed, or followed up after her...”Read full review »
