President Trump keeps boasting that a deal with Iran is at hand. But now officials leaked word to CNN that Trump's public posturing has hurt the negotiations. One noted that by “negotiating through social media,” Trump implied Iran had agreed to things “they hadn't yet agreed to,” complicating the talks. That's humiliating, given Trump's bragging of success. Meanwhile, in two cult-like tirades, Karoline Leavitt attacked the media for being insufficiently worshipful of Trump, and gushed over his greatness with extraordinary sycophancy. Can any good outcome be envisioned here? We talked to former National Security Council veteran Emily Horne. She explains why Leavitt's spin is so absurd, why this fiasco is so hard for Trump to extricate himself from, why there may be no good options ahead, and what it means that Trump has indefinitely extended the ceasefire, which he announced while we were recording.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

What happens when a teenage boy spends his formative years on incel forums, starts injecting steroids at 14, hits himself in the face with a hammer in the name of self-improvement, injects his underage girlfriend with unlicensed substances on a live stream — and the response from mainstream media is a New York Times profile and a Fashion Week runway? This week we're digging into looksmaxxing: where it actually came from, what the TikTok version obscured, and why a movement rooted in white supremacist beauty standards got repackaged as self-help. Then we talk about Braden Peters, the influencer known as Clavicular, and make the case that the media didn't just cover his rise — it manufactured it.

RNZ journalist Phil Vine joins us after his hit podcast series The Lodge, his deep dive into Phenomena Academy. We unpack the wild claims, what drew people in, and the real impact on those involved. Because this didn't happen somewhere far away — it happened here. It's a reminder cults can come in all shapes and sizes, and they might be lurking near you.

In this gripping episode, we speak with Samantha Giles, who recounts her journey from a childhood marked by family trauma to her eventual "escape" from the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses. After her mother joined the organization seeking stability at a low point, Samantha's world became "very small," defined by a "significant decline" in quality of life where gymnastics and holidays were replaced by a constant, pervasive fear of demons and Armageddon. Samantha explores the nuances of growing up as a "poor" Witness in a wealthy congregation, leading her to seek validity through baptism at just 15 years old—a decision that would later cost her everything. The heart of the episode details the "horror" of a judicial committee where Samantha was interrogated by three older men about her sexuality in front of her own mother. This violation was only the beginning; after being thrown out of her home at 17 and left to navigate the "real world" without any life skills, she faced a final, shocking betrayal involving a family inheritance. Samantha shares how her mother manipulated a family will to strip her of her grandfather's legacy, referring to her only as "the disfellowshipped one". It is a powerful story of reclaiming agency and building a new identity centered on unconditional love. Key Takeaways The Trap of Seeking Validity: Samantha reflects on how she felt "invalidated" as a fatherless child from a poor background, which pressured her into making a lifelong religious commitment at age 15 just to feel "accepted" within the congregation hierarchy. Obedience vs. Critical Thinking: The organization focuses on teaching children to "obey" rather than "how to think," leaving them vulnerable to whoever is the strongest presence in their life once they leave the sheltered environment. The "Violating" Judicial Process: Samantha describes the invasive and abusive nature of being questioned by elders regarding private sexual details, a process she notes felt like a violation and led her to push back rather than "repent". Shunning as Financial Manipulation: In a disturbing turn, Samantha's mother and brothers used the shunning protocol to justify rewriting a family will, effectively stealing Samantha's inheritance to purchase a home for themselves while she was caring for her dying grandparents. Reclaiming Identity through Motherhood: Now a mother herself, Samantha contrasts the "conditional love" of her past with the deep, protective bond she has with her daughters, vowing to never let a belief system dominate her ability to fight for their best interests. Direct Quotes "Demons were everywhere… we were just teaching children that like demons are walking among you". "What you call love does not resemble like any love I felt for my daughters. That's control". "Agency for me is always the biggest and most important thing. I think it's probably the crux of the ultimate of why I left".

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to introduce you all to: Non-binary, queer and polyfragmented cult torture, mind control, and incest survivor, overcomer and whistleblower living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, award winning published - and passionate - writer and author - writing the books they needed as a struggling teen and couldn't find, content creator, artist and visionary, entrepreneur, educator, and the brightest and most colorful light in this dark world: Cheryl Rainfield. A little bit about Cheryl and what you can expect to hear about in today's episode: Born in Toronto and raised in what appeared on the outside to be an ordinary middle-class family, Cheryl endured horrors few can fathom - intergenerational, organized cult torture involving ritual abuse, mind control, trafficking, and relentless programming designed to break body, mind, and soul. Yet even as a child, Cheryl found cracks in the darkness. Writing and art became their first lifelines - silent workarounds that allowed truth to slip past the threats. Early on in teenage years, folks inside the personality system began sharing memories, starting with the “easier” incest memories. A school story written by one of those parts reached a teacher who believed. Police and child protective services were called. It was a first, fragile step toward light.But safety was not immediate. Cult-involved parents responded with a therapist who deliberately slowed healing. Torture intensified at night. Still, the system inside refused to stay silent. By 15, Cheryl chose their own therapist - an extraordinary cult torture survivor with DID themselves = who instantly recognized the switching, the co-fronting, and the blending. That early validation became a cornerstone.Cheryl lives with a polyfragmented dissociative identity - a complex structure born of extreme, calculated torture. Thousands of fragments form hubs, splits, and subgroups, some self-created for protection, others deliberately crafted by the cult. Escape was not one dramatic moment but a marathon of courage. Slowly, layer by layer, Cheryl reached safety. It took most of their life, but they did it—proving that no matter how long the road, freedom can come.Through it all, writing was both a sanctuary and a superpower. Cheryl began as soon as they could hold a pencil, pouring pain onto pages when speech was forbidden. In their late twenties and early thirties, they honed their craft and became the author they needed as a teen.  But Cheryl's impact stretches far beyond the page. On social media, through articles on their website (cherylrainfield.com), and in raw, compassionate videos and podcasts, they speak openly about cult torture, polyfragmented DID, mind control, and the path to healing. Today, Cheryl is more than a survivor. They are a warrior of the heart, a voice that refuses to be silenced, and a living proof that the most broken places can birth the most beautiful light. Their books, their words, their very existence whisper to every struggling soul: Healing is real. You can get safe. You can find joy again.CONNECT WITH CHERYL: TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@cherylrainfieldIG: https://www.instagram.com/cherylrainfieldFB: https://www.facebook.com/cheryl.rainfield/YT: https://www.youtube.com/@Cheryl.Rainfield                                             Substack: httpSupport the show

Step inside five decades of rock history with lighting legend Howard Ungerleider, the man who’s been designing and directing Rush’s light shows since 1974. Hear how a $75-a-week mailroom gig at American Talent International — where he pulled off a rogue booking of Fleetwood Mac before he was even an agent — turned into a lifetime behind the console. Get the story of Howard landing in Toronto to babysit “a club band called Rush,” sleeping on the floor at the manager’s house with a St. Bernard, freezing his hand to a car door at -40 in Cochrane, Ontario, and later jamming with Neil Peart at his house to Genesis and Supertramp records. Howard also talks designing Roll The Bones (the one Rush tour he couldn’t operate), embedding at See Factor to build custom gear nobody else could get, and how Blue Öyster Cult first put him in front of a laser: the same craft he now brings to Foo Fighters, Tool, and Janet Jackson. Then the conversation turns to the upcoming Rush Fifty Something tour — a four-piece now with Anika Nilles on drums and Loren Gold on keys, freeing Geddy to focus on bass and vocals. Learn why Howard still “plays” the lighting console live with two boards and thousands of touch cues, how robotic spots are quietly changing the craft, and why he and Phish’s Chris Kuroda will be swapping rigs at Madison Square Garden. You’ll also hear the Paul McCartney moment in the Taylor Hawkins tribute dressing room that may have sparked the whole tour, and why Howard insists this is a rejuvenation, a celebration, and proof that no matter the rig, the room, or the era, you’ve gotta ALWAYS BE PERFORMING. Because it’s what we do.

Derrick Broze Exposes The Coverup Of The Finders, The CIA Connected Pedophile Cult (Infowars) - TCRN www.theconsciousresistance.com/ The Conscious Resistance is the moment you recognize that being free goes deeper than just seeing the problems in the political arena. Consciously Resisting means being willing to engage in self-reflection, and pursuing knowledge of the self. Without knowing our own doubts, hopes, fears, dreams, insecurities and strengths we can not truly know what freedom means to us as an individual. To become conscious, and aware of ones actions is one of the most important steps towards claiming your own freedom. Motto: “Leading by example and helping others in their pursuit of Freedom.” The Conscious Resistance Network is an independent media organization focused on empowering individuals through education, philosophy, health, and community organizing. We work to create a world where corporate and state power does not rule over the lives of free human beings. Originally this site and the name revolved around the work of community activist Derrick Broze. However, in November 2013 Derrick and Neil Radimaker relaunched the The Conscious Resistance Network. TCRN aims to be a unique network of entertaining internet broadcasts featuring music videos, how to videos, gardening tips, discussions on current events, Anarchy, community organizing, and many other ideas we are currently working on.'

Alexander The Great called himself a god, Henry VIII airbrushed his portrait, and Nixon lost a TV debate because he was sweaty. The Cult of Personality is older and more complex than you think.This episode traces the ancient, ridiculous, and terrifyingly effective history of leader worship. We start with Lysander of Sparta getting a festival named after him, swing through Alexander the Great's divine PR campaign, and watch Henry VIII weaponise oil paintings centuries before Instagram existed. Then it's the 1930s, where Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin industrialised the whole thing, while FDR, Churchill, and Gandhi proved democracies weren't immune. We hit the Kennedy vs Nixon debate (RIP Nixon's grey suit), Reagan's Hollywood playbook, Thatcher's 'Iron Lady' persona, and land squarely in the age of memes, algorithms, and wannabe dictators.⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We go weird with some action films about creatures from the deep and from space. First up, Atlantis is tired of our shit so they decide to invade in RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS. Then, a buff alien chick is tired of our shit so she decides to invade in ALIENATOR.

“Let's just say it out loud,” Keith Teare, publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter, says. “AI is not dangerous.” Not all of you will agree. I'm certainly not so sure. But the gruff Yorkshireman is convinced that AI can only benefit humanity. For him, with his scientific faith in historical progress, today's AI revolution is a glorious combination of the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution. The only danger, he warns, is the belief in danger itself. Thus his criticism of Anthropic's Dario Amodei, who has been quite explicit about AI's dangers — and for whom the doom narrative is, in Keith's reading at least, designed as a business strategy to solicit governmental backing without government control. AI Is Not Dangerous. Repeat it. Take your ideological medicine. As if you're in a Silicon Valley seminary. Sing it out loud. As if you're in a Methodist choir. Believe it now? Five Takeaways •       The Economist's “Lowlife” Moment: Keith's editorial was triggered by The Economist's forty-five-minute video on the five men running AI — the title alone, “How to Control the Men Who Control AI,” was enough. Why would The Economist think it could control them? And why focus on the personalities rather than the technology, the applications, or the actual human impact? Judging the AI industry by its CEOs is like judging a film by the leading actor's personality rather than the script or the performances. It's the wrong focus — and in Keith's view, a low one for a publication that should know better. The cult of personality is a media creation, feeding on controversy because controversy sells subscriptions. •       AI Is Not Dangerous. Full Stop. Keith's boldest claim: AI is not dangerous — not a little, not potentially, not in the wrong hands. The doom narrative is a media-driven frenzy, fed by CEOs who give it too much airtime and by a readymade audience of Americans whose well-founded economic pessimism makes them receptive to negative messages. The Stanford AI Index Report shows that America is the country where AI is trusted least — paradoxically, also the country where media has the greatest influence. In China, people trust AI more, not because the government tells them to, but because economic progress gives them reasons for optimism. You get what you pay for. •       Amodei's Pitch Disguised as Science: Keith's reading of Dario Amodei's doom narrative: it is a business strategy. The message — AI might kill us all, AI might make us all unemployed — is not a scientific assessment. It's a pitch for Anthropic specifically: if AI is this dangerous, you can't let anyone else control it, so trust us and give us government backing without government oversight. Contrast with Demis Hassabis, who acknowledges risk and then immediately explains what he's doing about it — taking responsibility rather than pointing the finger. And contrast with Zuckerberg, who Keith describes as sociopathic: “whatever serves my interest is gonna come out of my mouth at any given moment.” •       Consensus Capital and the Winner-Take-All Endgame: Keith's post of the week: 75% of all venture capital raised goes to five funds, and 75% of all VC investment goes into five companies. Noah Smith's piece on winner-take-all AI makes the same point from a different angle: linear extrapolation suggests two, maybe five, companies end up with all the money and power. This is what capitalism does — many car companies became a handful, many banks became a handful. AI will produce the same centralisation, but at unprecedented scale and across every domain simultaneously. The question — how does society benefit? — is the most important question of the era. Altman and Musk at least try to answer it. The others don't. •       Manifest Agency. Lean In. Keith's advice to young people who distrust AI: get involved and shape it, because the alternative is to be a victim of whatever outcome arrives without you. AI is valid and inevitable. The question is what influence you have over it, and the answer is: more than you think, but only if you exercise it. Musk and Altman, for all their faults, are two people who do care — and who talk about UBI and universal high income because they understand that the winner-take-all endgame raises genuine questions about distribution. The Sophie Haigney argument — that all the worst people want to be high-agency — has it backwards. A world without agency is a world where elected officials are accountable to no one. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and the publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter — a daily curation of the most important stories at the intersection of technology, business, and culture. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and a long-time interlocutor on Keen On America. References: •       That Was the Week newsletter by Keith Teare — this week's editorial: “The Cult of Personality.” •       “How to Control the Men Who Control AI,” The Economist, April 2026. The video that triggered Keith's editorial. •       “I Don't Think Sam Altman Lies,” by Stewart Alsop — the piece that started the conversation. •       John Thornhill, “AI Has an Awful Image Problem,” Financial Times, April 2026. •       Noah Smith, “What If a Few AI Companies End Up with All the Money and Power?” — the winner-take-all argument. •       Episode 2873: Agency, Agency, Agency — Sophie Haigney on the A-word that Keith takes issue with this week. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters: 

 The Pentagon moved to defend Secretary of War Pete Hegseth after he recited a prayer at a Pentagon worship service that closely resembled a fictional monologue from Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction, a passage that has never appeared in the Bible. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell addressed the controversy in a statement on X, writing, "Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction. Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction. During the worship service at the Pentagon, Hegseth said the prayer, known as "CSAR 25:17," had been used by "Sandy-1" combat search-and-rescue crews before missions, including a recent operation involving two U.S. Air Force personnel, who were shot down over Iran.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What does it look like when a Google VP, a Flipkart CTO, and a 30-year technology veteran stop managing people — and start building again with AI?In this episode of SparX, Mukesh Bansal (Founder of Myntra & Cult.fit) speaks with Peeyush Ranjan (former VP of Engineering at Google Pay and Group CTO of Flipkart) about what's actually happening inside companies as AI agents begin to reshape how products are built.This isn't a conversation about the future of AI.It's about what's already happening — in their companies, on their laptops, and in the way builders are now working.This is a builder's conversation.Peeyush shares how he built Enrico-  an AI chief of staff (AI agent) that has become the most productive “employee” in his company. With company-wide memory, a virtual board of advisors featuring Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Charlie Munger, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman, and the ability to autonomously improve itself, it represents a new way of operating.Mukesh shares how he went from watching others build to launching a fully functional v1 product in under 10 days — faster than what a $100,000 outsourcing agency failed to deliver.But this goes far beyond productivity.They explore what this shift means for how companies are structured, how capital is deployed, how hiring changes and what happens when revenue per employee jumps from $40,000 to potentially millions.How to build an AI chief of staff (AI agent) for your companyWhy curiosity + agency now matter more than expertiseThe real risk of AI: intellectual laziness and cognitive debtWhy distribution — not innovation — is becoming the new moatWhat a 10-person, billion-dollar company could look likeHow to think about open source vs frontier AI modelsWhy the idea of a “non-technical founder” is disappearingThe gap between imagination and instantiation has never been smaller. The question is whether you're on the right side of it.Guest:Peeyush Ranjan : Co-founder Fermi.ai, Partner at Meraki Labs, Former VP Engineering Google Pay & Google Assistant, Former Group CTO FlipkartIf you found value, hit like & subscribe.

Bridget sits down with Andrew Gold, host of the Heretics podcast and author of The Psychology of Secrets, for a conversation about cult dynamics, Islamism in Europe, purity spirals, and what happens when your online tribe starts demanding you sell your soul to keep them. Andrew breaks down how YouTube channels, political movements, and entire cultures operate on the same psychological mechanics as Scientology and Heaven's Gate — just at different points on the spectrum. They get into why the UK can't talk about its rapidly changing demographics, how comedians and podcasters navigate audience capture without losing their integrity, Nick Fuentes and the strange new politics of antisemitism, the psychology of why people confide their darkest secrets to strangers, and whether independent media can survive without everyone going insane.Check out Heretics here: https://www.youtube.com/@UC4fQ-Cy8UpLPMwehPg-8ltQ

Eight children were removed from Samuel Bateman's compound and placed in foster care. During forensic interviews, none of them disclosed abuse. Their journals — seized by the FBI — were filled with detailed accounts of what Bateman did to them. The written truth they couldn't say out loud. That single detail tells you more about the psychological power of cult-based abuse than any courtroom testimony ever could.In Part 2 of this three-part panel, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to examine the internal damage the Netflix documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet reveals but can't fully explain. What happens to a child's mind when the person abusing them is presented as God's representative on earth. Why Bateman's "atonement ceremonies" — sexual abuse repackaged as sacred duty — make it neurologically difficult for victims to categorize their experience as harm. Why the girls went willingly when Bateman's wives kidnapped them from foster care.The conversation also tackles the most ethically complex element of the case: the adult wives. Women like Donnae Barlow, who was herself a victim of forced marriage and incest within the FLDS, diagnosed with extreme PTSD, who participated in kidnapping children because her conditioning told her the state was the predator and Bateman was the protector. The court gave her time served. Others got years. Whether that calibration was right is a question two experts in human behavior wrestle with in real time.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You've heard what Samuel Bateman did. Twenty wives. Children as young as nine. Fifty years in federal prison. But the part the Netflix doc Trust Me: The False Prophet can only gesture at is the how — the behavioral mechanics that turned a man with nothing into a prophet with total control over fifty people's lives, finances, and children.This is Part 1 of a three-part panel discussion with former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke, psychotherapist and true crime consultant Shavaun Scott, and Tony Brueski. We go move by move through Bateman's playbook. The way he read the desperation of a community that had lost its prophet when Warren Jeffs went to prison. The way he used public confessions as leverage — once you've confessed, you've given someone ammunition, and leaving means that ammunition gets used. The way his narcissism made him invite cameras into his own criminal operation because he genuinely believed he was untouchable.We talk about the two police visits that went nowhere because parents lied. The loyalty that survived Bateman's arrest and allowed him to orchestrate a kidnapping from behind bars. And the question that sits underneath all of it — could someone like Bateman get to the people in your life, and would you see it happening before it was too late?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going live with a conversation you're not going to want to pause. Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott are sitting down with Tony to break apart the Samuel Bateman case in real time — starting with the question everyone who watched the Netflix doc Trust Me: The False Prophet keeps asking: how did a broke, homeless man get fifty people to hand him their children, their money, and their obedience in three years?Robin spent two decades at the FBI studying how people build trust and exploit vulnerability — from counterintelligence targets to cult leaders. Shavaun has spent thirty years treating trauma survivors and studying the psychology of coercive control. Together, they're watching the same documentary footage you watched and pointing out what you didn't see.We're taking your questions live. This is Part 1 of three — focused on the behavioral mechanics. How Bateman recruited. How he controlled. How he made people complicit in their own exploitation. And how he maintained power even after he was sitting in a federal cell. Come with your questions — this one is going to move fast.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In The Cult Queen of Canada from CBC's Uncover, a tiny Saskatchewan town faces a surreal crisis when a cult leader calling herself “The Queen of Canada” occupies an abandoned school. As neighbours turn on each other, a retired teacher leads resistance in a story about what happens when online extremism spills into the real world. Hosted by Rachel Browne.Crime. Investigation. Revelation. Uncover brings you explosive, high-caliber true crime year-round. From CIA mind control to serial abuse, mysterious disappearances to wrongful imprisonment.More episodes of The Cult Queen of Canada are available wherever you get your podcasts, and here: https://link.mgln.ai/CQOCxCF—When I decided to take on the story of the Codfather, I realized it was a little more true-crime than anything I had done before, and so it was important to me that we do true crime in a way that served a larger purpose. That there was a point to it all besides just people breaking the law and getting caught. And for me, one of the models of that kind of storytelling is the CBC's Uncover. It's an ongoing feed that has released just a stunning run of highly original and intensely engaging crime stories that also help us understand our world. They have a new series out this spring so we wanted to feature an episode of that here.It's called ‘The Cult Queen of Canada.' It's set in a small prairie town of 120 people in Saskatchewan, which becomes the unlikely home base for a cult leader known as the “Queen of Canada.” In the series, journalist Rachel Browne uncovers how online extremism bleeds into everyday life and divides this small town. It's a story about polarization, power vacuums, and what happens when a small community becomes the testing ground for extremism.

Pompeii's story is usually told through the lens of catastrophe—perfectly preserved bodies frozen in ash, a civilization erased in hours, sort of like a Roman version of the Chicxulub impactor that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago —but the real tragedy isn't just that Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Worse is that we've forgotten the thousands of ordinary people who lived full, ambitious lives before that final day. These stories include a slave named Petrinus hoped to buy his freedom with earnings from side work, fish sauce merchant Aulus Umbricius Scaurus (who shipped garum bottles as far as Gaul while planning his next business expansion), and wealthy entrepreneur Julia Felix prepared her rental apartments to host the mysterious Cult of Isis. The mortality rate was only 9-11 percent because residents had eighteen hours to evacuate before superheated ash clouds arrived—this wasn't the extinction of the dinosaurs, yet we've reduced these vibrant lives to silent ruins and plaster casts. Today's guest is Jess Venner, author of The Lost Voices of Pompeii: A Gripping History of Seven Lives on the Last Day in Pompeii. We discuss how she reconstructed the life of slave Petrinus from a single loan contract listing him as collateral between two women, the condiment tycoon Scaurus sold his famous fermented fish sauce throughout the Roman Empire, and how politician Gaius Cuspius Pansa's campaign advertisements still cover the city walls two millennia later. We also see why nearly 20% of Pompeii remains unexcavated and how new X-ray phase-contrast tomography is finally allowing researchers to virtually unroll carbonized Herculaneum papyri, potentially recovering lost Epicurean philosophy once thought destroyed forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does the Mormon curl, January 6th, and the rapture all have in common? Christian Nationalism! This week Reese and Amanda are joined by Jennie Gage (@LifeTakeTwoJennie) of Life Take Two, to unpack what we (spoiler alert) feel is one of the most insidious cults taking over America today: Christian Nationalism. From the 7 Mountains Doctrine to Trump taking over as a charismatic leader (despite never having read the bible lest his hands and eyes burn), our cultie hosties discuss the culty tactics that kept Jennie in, the lesbians who got her out, and and the behaviors that make this 'divine and patriotic calling' sound like a cult.

World-renowned criminal investigator and creator of Profiling Evil, Mike King, joins Chanley to unpack the chilling takedown of the Zion Society, a secretive polygamous cult led by Arvin Shreeve. Operating behind a suburban facade in Utah, the group practiced belief manipulation, abused women, and subjected children to horrific treatment. Mike details how a four-week undercover operation inside the cult's lingerie store exposed the truth, leading to hundreds of felony charges and the collapse of the disturbing operation that victimized many. To understand the chilling psychological tactics used by cult leaders and predators, grab Mike King's book, Deceived.

Send us Fan MailThe moment you realize “this could happen to anyone” is the moment you start getting your power back. We're kicking off our Cult Survivor Series with two of the most important voices in the cult recovery space: Sarah Edmondson and Nippy Ames, co-hosts of A Little Bit Culty, to talk about their new book A Little Bit Culty: Navigating Cults, Control, and Coercion.We get into what makes high control groups work across religions, self-help programs, political movements, and influencer communities, even when they look nothing alike on the surface. Sarah and Nippy break down coercive control in plain language: love bombing that turns conditional, information control, isolation, punishment for questioning, and the “special” jargon that trains you to gaslight yourself. We also talk about why cult recruitment isn't about intelligence, and how a simple checklist mindset can help you spot red flags early, before you're deeply invested.From there we go personal and practical: parenting after a cult, teaching kids how to ask questions without fear, setting boundaries while still building real community, and how online algorithms can target vulnerability and amplify recruitment tactics. We also talk honestly about healing, PTSD, trust, and why recovery doesn't have a clean endpoint, it comes in waves.If this conversation helps you, share it with someone who needs better language for what they're experiencing, and subscribe for more survivor stories. After you listen, leave a comment with the biggest warning sign you've seen in a group or relationship.Support the showBFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2131160.rssYOUTUBE PLAYLISTS:Spy Files Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtJfniWLwq4cA-eBNXD...

Chris Schembra is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, gratitude strategist, and founder of the 747 Club — a dinner party experience that has brought together tens of thousands of people across the globe. In this episode, Chris takes us back to July 15, 2015, the night he invited 15 strangers to his 300-square-foot Manhattan apartment, made a simple pasta sauce, and asked one question that changed everything: "Who have you never thought to thank?" What emerged wasn't just a dinner — it was a movement. Chris breaks down the concept of "designed friction" and why our obsession with frictionless connection has made us lonelier than ever. You'll walk away with three actionable pillars — presence, intimacy, and coherence — to start building more meaningful relationships starting today.Find Chris Online:Website: ⁠http://www.chrisschembra.com/⁠Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/schembra/⁠Chapters:0:00 — Welcome & Chris Challenges Brian to Do the Opposite1:39 — July 15th, 2015: Brian Sets Up the Origin Story2:44 — Chris Begins: Life Before the Dinner Party4:41 — The Moment in Rome That Changed Everything6:01 — From Murphy Bed to Pasta Sauce7:37 — The First Dinner and the 7:47 Gratitude Question9:04 — How Chris Got 15 Strangers to Show Up10:41 — How the Gratitude Question Was Born14:36 — How to Reconnect When Most People Won't Even Send a Text20:48 — The League of Gentlemen: How a Breakfast Became a Brotherhood28:12 — Virtual vs. Real: Hybrid Is How We Connect29:40 — Frictionless Design Has Left Us Empty in the Soul35:14 — The Cult of Trauma and the Victim Mindset43:00 — Three Pillars to Design Friction in Your Life48:52 — The 747 Club Invitation: Book the Flight, I Dare You

Most serial killers hide what they are. Eddie Cole did the opposite—he flat-out told people he wanted to rape and kill women, and begged for help before it was too late. Somehow, again and again, he was released back into the world. Today's Timesuck dives into one of the most frustrating true crime cases imaginable: a killer who warned everyone… and still wasn't stopped.

Mike talks with director Marcie Hume about making Corey Feldman vs. the World, the ethics of documentary filmmaking, and what it means to capture a subject in freefall.Hume has said the film was never intended as a hit piece, and the documentary bears that out. It presents testimony from Feldman, the Angels, his then-wife Courtney Anne Mitchell, and fans who attended the shows, letting events speak for themselves. What emerges is a portrait of a deeply damaged person caught in cycles he can't seem to break — part tour film, part cautionary tale, and part document of Hollywood's long history of failing the children it exploits.Learn more at https://www.coreyfilm.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

In the summer of 2006, a teenage girl began posting video diaries to a then-new site called YouTube under the handle lonelygirl15. Within weeks she was a phenomenon—even though no one knew the truth of who she really was. The frenzied quest to change that, to solve the mystery of lonelygirl15, would ultimately land her on the front page of newspapers and the covers of magazines. Twenty years on, lonelygirl15 is both an artifact of an earlier online era and an origin point for the internet as we know it: a place full of video diaries, parasocial relationships, influencers, hyper-engaged fandoms, and the knowledge that you can't always believe your eyes.In this episode, you'll hear from some of the people who investigated lonelygirl15 way back in 2006: culture critic Virginia Heffernan, who writes the Substack Magic + Loss and co-hosts the podcast Omnishambles; entertainment journalist Richard Rushfield of The Ankler; Emmy Award-winning producer Jenni Powell; and one-time cybersleuth Chris Patterson. We also speak with the people involved in making lonelygirl15: Miles Beckett, Mesh Flinders, Jessica Rose Phillipps, and Amanda Goodfried. This episode was written by Willa Paskin and Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's Supervising Producer. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Max Freedman. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.Thank you to Greg Goodfried, Matt Foremski, and Tom Foremski. Special thanks to Ryan Broderick and Grant Irving of the podcast Panic World, who introduced Willa to the lonelygirl15 story on a recent episode of their show and suggested it might make a good topic for Decoder Ring.If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, email us at DecoderRing@slate.com or leave a message on our hotline at (347) 460-7281.Sources for This EpisodeCresci, Elena. “Lonelygirl15: how one mysterious vlogger changed the internet,” The Guardian, June 16, 2006.Davis, Joshua. “The Secret World of Lonelygirl,” WIRED, Dec. 2006.Falconer, Ellen. “An oral history of lonelygirl15,” RNZ, June 16, 2016.Flemming, Brian. “Arguments for a real LG15 fall short,” Brian Flemming's Weblog, Aug. 25, 2006.Foremski, Matt and Tom Foremski. “SVW Exclusive: The identity of LonelyGirl15,” Silicon Valley Watcher, Sep. 11, 2006.Foremski, Tom. “How the secret identity of LonelyGirl15 was found,” Silicon Valley Watcher, Sep. 12, 2006.Foremski, Tom. “The Hunt for LonelyGirl15: Life in a blogger household…,” Silicon Valley Watcher, Sep. 12, 2006.Glaister, Dan. “Cult blog a fake, admit 'lonelygirl' creators,” The Guardian, Sep. 9, 2006.Heffernan, Virginia and Tom Zeller Jr. “The Lonelygirl That Really Wasn't,” New York Times, Sep. 13, 2006.Heffernan, Virginia. “A Pause for Some Words From Bree,” New York Times, Aug. 23, 2006.Heffernan, Virginia. “Sweet, Weird, Fraud or Other,” New York Times, Aug. 24, 2006.“LGPedia,” LG15, 2016.“lonelygirl15 and when lies could be fun,” Panic World, Feb. 4, 2026.“Lonely Girl And All Her Friends,” On the Media, Sep. 1, 2006.Nudd, Tim. “Lonelygirl15 still a mystery, for now,” ADWEEK, Sep. 1, 2006.Rushfield, Richard and Claire Hoffman. “Lonelygirl15 Video Blog Is Brainchild of 3 Filmmakers,” Los Angeles Times, Sep. 13, 2006.Rushfield, Richard and Claire Hoffman. “Mystery Fuels Huge Popularity of Web's Lonelygirl15,” Los Angeles Times, Sep. 8, 2006.Wendt, Milo A. “LonelyGirl15: It's Not So Lonely In The Bay Area,” milowent, Aug. 30, 2006.

Roch Thériault promised his followers healing, purpose, and a closer connection to God — but what he built in the wilderness of Canada became something far, FAR more sinister. As his control tightened, faith twisted into fear, and “treatment” became torture. This is the story of the Ant Hill Kids. A story of how belief, isolation, and absolute power created one of the most disturbing cults in modern history.
