A podcast about the modern-day “cults” we all follow. Each episode asks the culty questions we’re all wondering… Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about Elon Musk stans? Or the Royal Family? What about spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? Sounds Like A Cult, hosted by Amanda Montell, author of Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, analyzes a different zeitgeisty group every week ... more

Munch on some ice chips and PUSHHHHH (sorry) play on this week's episode, in which we dare to apply our culty analysis to the ever-polarizing "free birther" community. Free birthing is a controversial catch-all term in and of itself, generally descri... more
BOO! ‘tis the spookiest time of the year, dear culties, and this year we’ve whipped out our cauldrons to cook you an up episode on one of the scariest topics we could think of… complex emotions?! That is only half a joke, because this week Reese is e... more

Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I love your pod!!!!
Been a fan of Amanda since I heard her on ALBC. Loving the addition of Chelsea and Reese and can’t wait to keep hearing from them!!!!

I, like you, have also been called too giggly (sorry not sorry). Your podcast is important because it low key teaches media literacy (fo... more
I adore this show as well as Amanda’s general voice (literal and metaphorical). Never stop giggling, girl!
I’ve been a weekly listener for years, and it’s always enjoyable. However, please supply the new hosts with appropriate recording equipment! Listening to someone record with background noise and tincan sounding audio is really grating.
I love the comedy but also shining a light on “cults” that have been normalized by our culture.
