“The stories and insight into cults are so interesting!! It’s incredible to hear about how easy it is to fall into one and heartbreaking to hear about the many struggles people deal with on their way out. There is much more candidness than I would expect which I attribute to the safe and open...”Read full review »

“Lola is uneducated and refuses to mention the hostages that terrorists stole from their homes while being “so affected” by Israel defending itself in a war it didn’t start. Stop the performative activism, that’s a cult too.”

“Newsflash - You ladies are part of a political Marxist cult.
Just started listening to first few episodes and podcast isn’t bad. Episode I just started, one of the hosts started off about how she is struggling with all of the bad things happening to Palestinians, and I agree some pretty bad...”Read full review »

“It is not ok to bash more than 50% of Americans who work hard for every little bit they have. We are not in a cult because we vote conservatively, and bashing our lifestyles and our beliefs just because we don’t believe in big government is not ok. You may need to read and research more about how...”Read full review »

“Very interesting topics but generally poor to zero production quality. The hosts may have their own personal experience with cults but overall are uneducated and not particularly insightful. Highly recommend “was I in a cult” podcast for the opposite of what I just described.”

I think they do a great job of humanizing cult survivors...”Read full review »

“For a podcast that claims to be about truth, you have completely bought into lies about Israel. Israel has EVERY RIGHT to defend itself after a Oct 7th. Stop perpetuating Jew hatred if you are supportive of truth and not part of “cult thinking”. I’m done listening to your podcast”

“These interviews and content are GREAT - focused, personal, important. But once the pod opened itself up to ads, it went ALL THE WAY into massive ad territory, seemingly overnight.
