Hidden Cults
From silent compounds to subway attacks, from charismatic prophets to catastrophic ends — Hidden Cults is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world’s most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups. Each episode unpacks a different cult with investigative depth, emotional clarity, and gripping storytelling. You’ll hear the full timeline: from the origins and ideology, to the rise of control, to the final descent into chaos. We’re not here for the sensational. We’re here for the truth. If you've ever wondered how ordinary people fall into extraordinary belief systems — and what happens when those systems implode — you’re in the right place. New episodes weekly.
