Cult Podcast

The gang is all here! We're back from vacation! This week we dive into the delicious, although sexually repressed, history of the Graham Cracker and Sylvester Graham's crusade against bad bread, jerking off, and infrequent dumps. It's a blast and you'll never look at s'mores the same way again.  Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to donate and join our cult, pleas...

Armando and Andrea are on Vacation so Mikey and Todd from Horror Virgin join Paige for an extra special episode as we review The Sacrament, a movie that's basically Jonestown, without officially being Jonestown. Join in for some laughs and we'll be back together for a normal episode next week.  Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to donate and join our cult, please...

We're back this week with the final installment in our series on Timothy McVeigh. Join us as Mando takes Paige and Andrea through the last leg of Tim's trip toward radicalization. Come find out how interconnected these events really were. Fair warning, this one does get rough. But there's still some top notch goofing' throughout it, too! Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If yo...

Sorry for the delay, but we're finally back this week with one heck of a story. Join us as Mando takes Paige and Andrea through Timothy McVeigh's time in the Army, his first two killings, and the start of his radicalization. We all know where this is headed, but did you know about the part where he LITERALLY let Jesus take the wheel? Yeah. Didn't think so. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn...

We’re back this week with the first installment in our series on Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing. The story behind the 1995 attack is almost common knowledge now. An angry white kid got so upset with our government that he decided to send a gruesome message. But what made Timothy so perfect for radicalization? Join us as Mando tells Paige and Andrea all about the goofy childhood that...

We're back this week to talk about a group that's been on everyone's mind lately. Join us as Mando tells Paige and Andrea about Antifascism, Antifa for short. You'll learn all about the group's origins, why they started, and why it's so troubling to have them labelled as a "terrorist organization". The metaphors are strong with this episode.

We're back with the final installment in our series on The Branch Davidians, David Koresh, and Waco. Join us this week as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the Seige at Waco and how this tragedy could've been prevented by both sides multiple different times. This one is most definitely rough, and weirdly relevant, but we promise that it's worth the listen. Also, we rollin' with Oprah now. So, w...

We're back with another installment in our series on The Branch Davidians and David Koresh! Join us this week as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through life inside the compound.

We're back with another installment in our series on David Koresh and the Branch Davidians! This week, Paige takes Mando and Andrea through David's arrival, love of music, and rise to power.

We're back with the second installment of our series on The Branch Davidians, David Koresh, and the Waco Seige. Last week Paige took Mando and Andrea through what the US Government had been going through. Join us this week as she breaks down the origins of the group that Koresh would eventually take control of. Plus you get to learn about the worst stained glass window in the history of windows. A...

We're celebrating 1,000,000 downloads by kicking off a series that's been a long time comin'. With all the craziness surrounding the Branch Davidian's compound and violent end, it's important that we take a look at why the Feds were all shaken up. Just 9 months before everyone in America would know the town of Waco, TX, another standoff was underway. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through...

We're back this week with a breather episode before we launch into one heck of a series. But before everything goes nuts next week we figured we'd sit down and talk about the documentary series Tiger King. Tune in to hear about our theories, roasts, and all about Mando's former arch-enemy. 

We're back with the final installment in our series on the late scientist/cult leader Timothy Leary. How did the Harvard Psilocybin Project transform into an international free love cult? What crazy stuff did the group get into? What happened afterward? We answer all of these questions, and several more nobody asked, in this episode. Strap in! Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here]...

We're back with part two of our series on Timothy Leary. Today Mando takes Paige and Andrea through arguably Tim's most notable achievement: being the leader of the Harvard Psilocybin Project. Tune in to hear all about Timothy's first "cult", his buddy Baba Ram Dass, and about Armando's potential new religion. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to donate and join...

We're back this week telling you to "turn on, tune in, and drop out". Join us as Armando takes Paige and Andrea through one of the most interesting lives ever lived. Half Manson and half baked, Timothy Leary's story is one hell of a trip. So put on your coolest shades and your "uncle-iest" denim jacket. We're diving deep, baybee. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like...

We're back this mid-week with a minisode on a cult that is absolutely INSANE. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the lives of a man who trapped his followers deep underground for years. Also, we all might be able to relate to being in a bunker these days. Crazy times.

We're back this week with an episode on a very eccentric, and equally evil, guru by the name of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the story of the guru's group, Dera Sacha Sauda, and his illustrious career as a movie star, artist, musician, and car technician. Yep. We'll get into it. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to dona...

Hey! Psst. It's us. We know you're stuck in quarantine but you gotta make room for your three best buds.

This one is goofy through and through. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to...

About a week ago we recorded this Coronavirus Madness-style bonus episode for y'all. We had no clue how bad it was going to be. But, the jokes still work, baybee. We hope this brightens up your Friday a bit. We're joined by Kristal Adams, host of the podcast Black Card Rehab, to talk about the disease, immune systems, and weird college experiences. If you need a good laugh, and I'm willing to bet...

Join us this week as we cover the very topical Korean cult Shincheonji. They've made headlines for their part in the spread of Coronavirus but their story goes back further and includes more feet than you probably would've guessed. Listen in as Paige brings Mando, Andrea, and you up to speed on the devious diseased cult. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to donat...

We're back with the final episode in our series on the Latin Kings. We've come a long way from firefighters duking it out in the street. Join us this week as Mando takes Paige and Andrea through the story of the Latin Kings in New York, what members get out of being in the gang, and where the gang is now. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to donate and join our c...

We're back with part two of our series on the Latin Kings! Join us as Mando takes Paige and Andrea through the writing of The Latin Kings Manifesto and the birth of the gang's religious aspect.

We were lucky enough to have Erin, Paige's sister, in the studio a few days ago and recorded this lil bonus episode for y'all to help you get through the Friday commute! Kick off your weekend by hearing about one of the worst first dates in history, the pros and cons of grillz, and for some questions from listeners. All in all a real good time.

We're back with another episode on gangs! Except for this time, the gang is actually closer to a cult than you might've thought. With its own religion, sacred text, and demi-gods the Latin Kings are part "Crips and Bloods" and part "Jonestown". Join us as Mando tells Paige and Andrea about how Chicago's history birthed the gang and what the group's original purpose was. Also, we have a Patreon! [I...

We're back with another episode about some wild space cult. Except this one has a fancy science twist. Shouts out to all my nerds out there. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the prophecies of a Chicago woman and the long-lasting implications they've had on sociology. Also, thanks to our sponsor, Mando's Mime-o-grams: "Providing terrible news with horrible body movements since 2020!"...
