    Terrible. Hard to listen to. Just opinions and assumptions.

  • Disappointed

    I couldn’t get through the first episode. I really tried, multiple times, as I think the subject matter is interesting. Unfortunately, the episode just had no structure or narrative. It jumped around and spoke to things not introduced previously. I wondered if I was listening out of order or if this was supposed to be listened to alongside watching the documentary, but nothing in the description suggests that. Really disappointing. I don’t think I would bother with the documentary either now as ... more

  • Cults… brainwashed, depressed?

    Good listen, still intriguing on how people get sucked into cults… surely have to have a few screws loose. Poor sods.

  • Very boring

    I was so interested in this topic…. But I can’t get through the first episode. It’s all hearsay, and it’s just people chatting. The guy might have someone worth hearing to say, but I get get beyond the “ahhhhh” and the “unmmmm” and all the filler words such as “essentially” and “realistically” and “yeah”. I wanted to say something good, I really did. I’m sorry. It just wasn’t good, in my opinion.
