Cult Podcast

This week Mando saves us from the bummers by telling Paige and Andrea about one of our most requested cults: The Moonies aka Unfication Church. In part one of a two part series, we dive into Sun Myung Moon's roller coaster of a life from poor farm boy to Korean Jesus with a net worth of $900,000,000. 

Back to back bummers for y'all, the Cult Podcast crew stays making you sad. It's Paige's week again and she's covering Papa Pilgrim and boy is it a doozy. Come along for the ride as we learn about a "God" named Bob, a man's obsession with turquoise, and the scariest horror movie that was never written.

It’s Armando’s week and he takes Paige and Andrea through the Family of David and it’s leader: Immanuel David. It gets real silly then real dark on this one, friends. Buckle up as we traverse through samurai swords and Kanye songs on our way to a sad ending.
