The Mist
Drugs, Cults & Cultures
Nate John
Show overview
The Mist has been publishing since 2016, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 11 episodes. That works out to roughly 4 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 23 min and 30 min — 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-US-language Society & Culture show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 8.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 6 episodes published. Published by Nate John.
From the publisher
A series about drugs and cults. This audio-rich podcast aims to demystify the often mysterious workings of fringe religions and recreational substances — sometimes together.
