“As someone who was also in a cult for most of my childhood, I appreciate hearing the experiences of others like me. It confirms all the red flags that I myself had also noticed even as a teenager. Although the hosts are funny and keep poking fun at each other, their interviews of the survivors...”Read full review »

“Pretty good content if you can get past all the cringe banter. Liz always sounds wasted. Someone really needs to tell podcast hosts to practice their comedy act outside of their podcasts. The Body of Christ Church episode gets super obnoxious. I should have known it would be painful when the...”Read full review »

Love Tyler even more after the episode where he tells us all about his experiences in a cult. Liz snd Tyler are the best , funny, engaging and empathetic which makes for the perfect concoction that this podcast...”Read full review »

“I want to like this pod. I really do. The stories that the guests share are important. It’s far easier than most people think to find yourself in a place where life becomes so overwhelming that it feels “right” to give up control to some charismatic megalomaniac. The editing is so, so, SO off...”Read full review »

Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes! What great, inspiring guests....”Read full review »

“Why is an anti-cult podcast allowing Bodi, an MLM, advertise on their show? This company, formally known as beach body, is widely regarded as a cult by reps who have left the company. This is so odd to me.”

LIZ READ THIS
Liz being “annoyed” with Tyler’s love of music is more annoying than his love of music. It was mildly amusing in season one. But it’s gotten old.
He’s a typical white man. But you’re a typical white woman so it cancels out.”
