Are you ready for more cult action? Episode 93 is all about the more benign cults that may fly under the radar, but still pose a threat to vulnerable people.
First, the two discuss what makes a person more susceptible to getting sucked into a cult, and Benton shares the beliefs of UFO religious leader Raël and his group of Raëlians. Then, Anna tells of the current communal group of off-grid survivalists known as The Garden. Finally, Benton and Anna settle in to watch the documentary "Holy Hell", profiling the spiritualist cult known as Buddhafield.
Our TV doc this week is "Holy Hell: 22 Years Inside a Modern Cult".
