Cults, Cryptids, and Conspiracies
Two friends decided to make podcast about all the weird crap from history that sometimes can't be explained. Chelsea is here for political conspiracies, Cristina is here for the history and the science behind it all. From mysteries in ancient times to people missing in present day. From doomsday cults throughout history to international politics. From Bigfoot to Dropbears. If it's weird, we want to talk about it.

The team here at Cults, Cryptids, and Conspiracies is sad to announce that we'll have to go on a temporary hiatus. Several real life issues in our lives (health, jobs, etc.) have taken their toll, and until we know how they resolve we unfortunately won't be able to put out new episodes.
We appreciate you all so very much for being our listeners, and we're sorry we're going to have to disappear for a bit. Promise we're going to be ok...

We end our story about Brotherhood of New Life, the esoteric Christian cult run by Thomas Lake Harris. In this part we cover how Nagasawa Kanaye starts to rise in prominence and changes the world of wine. While not a perfect man his legacy can at least be remembered. Also if you've got any of that wine we would not mind sharing it with you. Just saying.

What about this effect really gets our goats? Is it how oddly close robots are to us? Or how distant some animals are? Tune in to find out.
