Dismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy-mad yogis. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon. As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse, and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their f... more

  • Heroic work by Derek, Julian and Michael, and thank you to them for the detail and care with which they show the connections between different grifters and charlatans. A must-listen for me.

  • The white male of it all is getting overwhelming

    I used to love this show, but the blind spots and lack of attention to intersectionality are becoming glaringly obvious as you move away from the focus on conspirituality.

  • I'm glad another podcaster sent me here

    Interestingly a man from a podcast of an almost identical name "What was it like" told us listeners to come and listen to your podcast. The first episode I chose was, the one where Jayson chased a murderer. What a fantastic story that!!! Wow! So well told. Not just what happened but how he felt how it changed his life and all of it different views and feelings. You could make a movie out of that! And as he told it, I felt like I was really there. And what a cool guy he is too. I'm going to check... more

  • Hosts use AI in show creation

    I used to like this show quite a bit, and listened casually for several years. However, in episode 322.The Cult of Spiralism the hosts discuss how they use AI in the creation of the scripts. I do not support the use of AI in any capacity. I have unsubscribed and will not be listening further. Sad, but this is a firm boundary for me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brief: MAGA’s Midterm Election Denialism Network (w/Julie Millican)
Q: What is the objective reality as best you can tell, without any bias, of the prevalence and impact of actual voter fraud in America?
Millican says voter fraud is exceptionally rare. She cites research finding only isolated instances of noncitizen voting and about four cases of mail-in ballot fraud per ten million ballots, and says these claims are used to support restrictions on voting access.
Brief: MAGA’s Midterm Election Denialism Network (w/Julie Millican)
Q: In general, how are you finding that the right-wing ecosystem that you track is responding to that? And what kinds of strategies might they be using to foil it?
Millican says right-wing figures are laying groundwork to challenge election results through claims about noncitizen voting, mail-in ballots, voting machines and supposedly fake polling, while also using fear-based rhetoric.
Book Club: Man in the Mirror (w/Anand Giridharadas)
Q: Do you have kind of a position or a sense of what might be a good remedy?
Giridharadas says there is no single remedy. He supports combining housing, access to treatment, possible involuntary care with safeguards, and upstream measures such as improving special education, food access, and teen mental health.
Book Club: Man in the Mirror (w/Anand Giridharadas)
Q: Can you remind our listeners of what went down and anything that I may have missed in my summary a moment ago?
On May 1, 2023, Jordan Neely entered a New York City subway car in a mental health crisis. Daniel Penny restrained him in a chokehold, which continued for several minutes after the train stopped and passengers could leave; Neely died.
Book Club: American Caesar (w/Brad Onishi)
Q: Do they actually buy this? Or how many of them do you think actually buy this?
Onishi says the figures he discusses largely look past Trump to a successor who can more strategically transform the country, while viewing Trump as useful for weakening existing institutions.
