“The host really ruins this podcast out of the gate. She constantly inserts herself into the narrative in ways that are disruptive while adding nothing.
This one of those docs you dislike everyone involved. The cult leaders are opportunistic narcissists and the followers are deeply cognitively...”Read full review »

“This is a really interesting story and I feel like there was a lot more of it to be told.
Episodes were too short, meaning they never got as in depth as they could’ve. It felt like the most basic facts of the story were just laid out and repeated rather than exploring them fully.
It feels like...”Read full review »

“Brilliant and layered exposé. A very important to hear how covering the story was impacting the reporter. I hope BBC has given her the support also to heal from this job. Well done!”

“Quite shocking to hear about the so called sexual enlightenment within this movement. On the other hand, because of the prudishness of sexual development and education in American culture, it doesn’t really surprise me that this type of cult or movement finds it origin in America.

“I wish there were more podcasts like this, that investigate modern “wellness” cults that are active right now (vs morbidly rehashing 70’s cults over and over).
You know it’s a good podcast when the subject sues to get it removed. I’m glad they lost and The Orgasm Cult is available again.”

“The story is great, but it’s a painful listen. The reporter doesn’t seem to get that when listening to a podcast you have your earphones on, often at home, or jogging, or about to sleep. You want a voice that blends in, that is soothing. Gentle, if you may. Instead, you get that projected loud...”Read full review »

“How bored people can be convinced they are saving the world one orgasm at a time whilst voluntarily enslaving themselves and go broke.

“People are so obnoxious. This is a fascinating podcast, well-researched and well-reported. It’s not liberal hysteria to be concerned about the welfare of vulnerable people. That’s called empathy. Also, to that one reviewer (eye roll), disorientating is a word - chiefly British. Just be calm.”

“Reveals more about the fears and closeted sexual conservatism of upper class liberals than it does about any exploitative practices of One Taste.
Promises Orgasms but is utterly dry.
Promises Cults but is just lonely nerds.
Embarrassingly amateur host (disorientating isn’t a word lol)...”Read full review »

“This shined a light on all the things I suspected about this group which I now realize is a cult. The women who I know that participated in the early stages of the creation of this group was a complete narcissist. She took coaching classes and instead of using them to help people, she used them...”Read full review »

“Orgasm Cult makes a major contribution to the debunking of the Wellness obsession that has besotted so many people in search of an alternate realty to describe their ‘unique’ maladies, both physical and psychical. Brilliantly paced, expertly narrated. High recommendation.”

“She has linked women’s health, wellness, misogyny, gas lighting, cult like behaviour all in one interesting narrative. Interesting how I only seem to see comments about voices when women front a podcast. FYI interesting is feminist speak for terrible misogyny (come at me bruh)”

“Great podcast - just a shame it’s the classic British accent turned US and like the other reviews say - it’s all a bit too shouty.
If only the narrator would reset to her natural style as she does with the characters and not be in character as newsreader.”

“This podcast mainly repeats Ellen Huet’s excellent work, but if it causes anyone to stop and ask more questions before handing over money to a con artistic, then it will have done a great service. Rather than OM, you could simply call it an old-fashioned circle jerk, swaddled in new age cliches.”
