This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
people's dopamine systems become just like fucking shot and overrun in the digital age.
Certain influencers who might have never even entered the dark tourist space before are now doing so for clout, for views.
This is Sounds Like a Cult, a show about the modern day cults we all follow.
I'm your host, Amanda Montel, author of books including Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism.
Every week on the show, we discuss a different fanatical fringe group or guru, something that puts the cults in culture, from Erwan to Etsy witches, to try and answer the big question.
This group sounds like a cult, but is it really?
And if so, which of our three cult categories does it fall into?
A live your life, a watch your back?
Or a get the fuck out.
Because the thing is, culty groups, cultish thinking, it falls along a spectrum in the 21st century, and not all cults are equally bad.
Like, say Trader Joe's or Horse Girls.
How deadly could those really be?
