Show overview
Cult Podcast has been publishing since 2017, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 377 episodes. That works out to roughly 440 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 1m and 1h 21m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language True Crime show.

From the publisher
A podcast. About cults. Duh. Tune in each week as we cover groups ranging from Japanese Death Cults to the Violent Alt-Right. A perfect way to remember: Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid!
