How did one man's hope of spreading peace through meditation and worship spiral into him becoming the God of his own deadly cult? This kicks off our 3-part special on cults. Join us this week as Rebecca share the story of Aum Shinrikyo, the cult known as the "religion for the elite" who was responsible for two of Japan's most deadly terrorist attacks, then Nicole delves into the fascinating topic of biological warfare and how even the smallest of biological organisms can become deadly when put in the wrong hands.
