Speaking of Cults

Show overview
Speaking of Cults has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 327 episodes. That works out to roughly 490 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 7m and 1h 51m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Education show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 5 days ago, with 41 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Chris Shelton.
From the publisher
A podcast about cults, coercive control and recovery. Formerly called the Sensibly Speaking podcast, in this weekly show host Chris Shelton interviews cult survivors, psychologists and other professionals and specialists about the topics of cult recruitment, retention and recovery. This also includes non-religious cults and extreme political movements including the more divisive elements of MAGA and left-wing culture war issues. There is nothing off-limits but we always try to be respectful of the people involved even if we do not respect the beliefs or actions involved.
