Cults I'd Join

Religion EN ↓ 107 episodes

Ever see that oddly identical group of people all cramming into a sketchy van or disappearing into rural land, and think to yourself, "I'd like to see what goes on in there..."? Whether you'd put on the matching outfit and dive on in, or just opt to be a fly on the wall, Cults I'd Join takes you to the inside as hosts Ameran and Jesse discuss the pros and cons of each group, what makes them tick, and whether or not they'd join. Join a new cult with us for an hour or so at a time. It's all the zany fun of cult joining, with none of that pesky commitment or potentially really bad decisions!

Love Has Won 23.12.2022 1:20:09

Exactly WHAT love has won is yet to be determined for this cult. It's a fun ride trying to figure it out though, so come along with Cults I’d Join for this twisty, too-much-glitter-y journey!

The Finders 23.12.2022 1:15:14

Good luck finding these guys... seriously. Finding them is just one part of the game—and according to The Finders ALL of life is a game—with one guy calling, and changing, the rules! Will you want to join by the end? Can you predict the game changers (see what we did there) in this cult? Tune in and FIND out (honestly, we can't stop ourselves with these puns)!

Midsommar 23.12.2022 1:20:45

Yes, we mean the awesome movie, and yes we know it's (probably) not real! None-the-less, this podcast isn’t called, "Cults-that-are-definitely-real," it's called "Cults I'd Join" and we (J at least) would join this cult! Spoiler alert: we will fully and entirely spoil this movie for you, we recommend you watch Florence Pugh in all her flower queen glory first! Lo...

Anabaptists (and the Waldensians?) 23.12.2022 57:20

Ever driven past a lovely Amish family in their buggy and thought, "Revolutionary! Outlaw! Hung in the square and burned at the stake!" If you haven't, you don't know the roots of their movement. The Amish and Mennonites share their roots in the Anabaptist movement, and arguably go back even further than that. If you don't have time to read The Martyr’s Mirror, come join t...

Oneida 22.12.2022 1:09:14

It can be tough to pick your favorite cult in a world full of so many great ones, but we decided that the one and only Oneida community should be our inaugural episode. They're one of the greats, and yes, Jesse only uses Oneida silverware in her home. That is a true story. Love Cults I'd Join?

The Snake Handlers 20.12.2022 55:42

Snake Handlers: we have more in common than we thought! The point where we diverge? You got it, it’s the snakes. But we can all agree on this: they're better in a church than on a plane!
