Cult Liter with Spencer Henry

Latest Episodes:

Peter Popped Off May 31, 2022

Show notes

Oh Cult Babes, today we’re diving into the bizarre world of a televangelist who’s full of something…and it’s not the Holy Spirit. Join me as we take a look into the world of a man you’ve probably seen slangin’ miracle water on a late night infomercial and the 1980’s scandal that almost brought him down.
