Sinners are often people who believe they deserve every little thing they desire, and hurting others along the way…well that’s just road kill. On a small scale it’s scary, but on the scale these people have done it it’s down right evil. Preachers, church, your faith are your most trusted source of comfort…but what happens when that world is shattered… Season 1 of Seven Deadly Sinners took on the... more

  • Pride-The Twelve Tribes

    Just caught your episode from a few years ago about the cult in Manitou Springs. As someone who was born in the TT, and actually lived in, and left from Manitou Springs, it’s cathartic to hear these stories of people still finding their way out of this group. It’s been over 20 years since i’ve been gone, and it all becomes a bit blurrier in ways, so thanks for raising awareness about this dangerous group and reminding me of what i escaped.

  • Tell the story already!

    17 minutes into an episode and I couldn’t tell you what the episode is about. 17 minutes of rambling nonsense intro and tangents before even starting the main story is too much. Get to the story already!!!!
