Barefoot Messiah Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

This week we’re talking about a cult from Los Angeles that had a very explosive ending. Krishna Venta’s cult known as The Fountain, or WKFL served as a predecessor of sorts to many future cults with followers going on to join the likes of Jim Jones, The Seekers, and Charles Manson, so you know we’re in for quite a story.

QAMOM Dec 06, 2022

Cult Babes! This week marks our first venture into the whacky world of Qanon. I had the pleasure of sitting down with filmmaker Sean Donnelly for our kick-off episode and we discussed how his mom got sucked into Qanon, which he chronicled in his 2021 documentary ‘QAMOM.’
