In the last several years, a cult industrial complex has emerged to capitalize on Americans' fascination with groups such as Jonestown, the Manson Family, the Branch Davidians, and the Rajneeshpuram community in Wasco County, Ore., argues UC Berkeley professor Poulomi Saha. But in her highly sought-after class called Cults in Popular Culture, they emphasize that it's important to look beyond the sensational examples and recognize how cult-like behavior shows up in many facets of our lives and society. We'll talk with Saha about why some groups are labeled as cults, why people are drawn to them, and what cults reveal about spirituality and culture in America. Guests: Poulomi Saha, associate professor of English and co-director of the Program in Critical Theory, UC Berkeley. Saha teaches a course called Cults in Popular Culture.

Matt, Jason and David listen to voice messages that were recorded by their friends at their Halloween party and discuss such topics as cults like Jonestown and Wild Wild Country, Matt's experience at Landmark Forum, condiments, aquadookies, David Fincher's new Netflix film "The Killer", Taylor Swift Eras Tour friendship bracelets, and other nonsense.

In the bewildering case of Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, the question looms: Who holds the reins of manipulation? The latest episode of "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski, featuring Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine, delves into this enigma, shedding light on the recent shocking twist – Chad Daybell has flipped on Lori, accusing her of manipulation and sexual control.    As this sinister tale unfolds, Constantine offers her expert insight into the dynamics of the Daybell's relationship and the implications of Chad's recent claims. "Everybody, if you get them talking long enough, they're going to hang themselves, and that's exactly what's happened," Constantine states. Chad's revelation that Lori used emotional and sexual manipulation points to a complicated interplay of control and influence. Yet, this admission, as Constantine suggests, might inadvertently point to his own guilt.    The conversation then pivots to the age-old debate of who is more culpable in this intricate web of deceit and murder. While it's unclear whether Chad or Lori is the true mastermind behind the horrific acts, Constantine reflects on the pattern of deaths surrounding both individuals. "Who would want them both dead?" she ponders, alluding to the deaths on both sides of their families. This pattern suggests a mutual desire to erase their pasts and start anew, a chilling prospect in the narrative of their crimes.    Constantine further explores the genesis of their shared delusion. "Initially, I think that Chad was the one that indoctrinated her into this other world," she asserts, painting Chad as the false prophet who drew Lori into his twisted world view. This indoctrination, according to Constantine, set the stage for the heinous acts that followed.    Brueski and Constantine also touch upon the broader implications of such manipulative control in cults, drawing parallels with notorious cases like Waco and Jonestown. "How could they persuade so many people to do such horrible, heinous things?" Constantine asks, highlighting the terrifying power of manipulation in the hands of charismatic leaders.    The discussion inevitably leads to pondering the potential escalation of the Daybells' influence had they not been stopped. "Would this have turned into a bigger cult had those events not taken place?" Brueski speculates, underlining the dangerous trajectory the couple was on.    As the conversation winds down, Constantine expresses her dismay at the growing mental health crisis that seems to be at the root of many such incomprehensible cases. "What's happening to our world and society?" she questions, signaling a deep concern for the rising tide of mental illness and its implications in criminal behavior.    The episode of "Hidden Killers" leaves the audience with a profound and unsettling question: In the shadowy world of Chad and Lori Daybell, where lies intertwine with delusions, can we ever truly discern the puppet master from the puppet? And as this saga continues to unravel, what other dark secrets might emerge from the depths of their disturbed minds? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Paradise Undone: A Novel of Jonestown by Annie Dawid, (Inkspot Publishing 2023), opens long after 917 people died by drinking cyanide or by lethal injection on November 18, 1978. It's 2008, and one of the survivors, who made it out earlier that day, is speaking to a reporter on the 30th anniversary of the “Jonestown Massacre.” When Jim Jones and his wife Marceline found Peoples Temple in the 1950s, they wanted to give hope to the poor and disenfranchised of all colors. They wanted to live honest lives earning their bread from the earth. They dreamt of their followers coming together as equals, loving each other as sisters and brothers, and building a commune in the British Guyana jungle. As the years passed, Jim Jones became more autocratic, he bedded his followers and sired children, and although Marceline hated what their marriage had become, she still loved him. Even unto death. Annie Dawid writes and teaches online in very rural Colorado, where she also makes rugs and assemblages as well as plays tennis and Scrabble. For the last 7 years, she's taught in the master's creative writing program for University College, University of Denver. She received her Ph.D. in 1989 from the University of Denver's English Dept. in Creative Writing. For 15 years, she was professor of English and Creative Writing director at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. Her last book, Put Off My Sackcloth: Essays, came out from The Humble Essayist Press in 2021. Her first book, York Ferry: A Novel, Cane Hill Press, 1993, second printing, was positively reviewed in The New York Times Book Review and the Los Angeles Times. It won the 2016 International Rubery Award in Fiction. Her second book was Lily in the Desert: Stories, Carnegie-Mellon University Press, 2001, followed by And Darkness Was Under His Feet: Stories of a Family, Litchfield Review Press, 2009, winner of their inaugural short story collection prize. In 2017, Finishing Line Press published her chapbook, Anatomie of the World: Poems. Along the way, her 10-minute drama, Gun Play, won the New Rocky Mountain Voices Contest and was performed in Westcliffe, Colorado. But most of the last 19 years have been devoted to researching, writing, revising, and searching for a publisher for her Jonestown novel, rewarded, at last, by Inkspot Publishing of the UK and published on the 45th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre.

Horror author Joe Hill thinks so. (Murder On The Set of Jaws) *** Of the many mysterious and ominous places on earth, many bodies of water are said to be cursed, haunted, or both. For whatever reason these lakes have drawn about them tales of misfortune, terror, and death, and they continue to elude rational answers. I'll share some of the strangest. (Cursed Lakes) *** At the dawn of the 20th Century Ambrose Bierce was one of the most famous writers in America. And then he mysteriously vanished. (The Disappearance of Ambrose Bierce) *** Charles Willey experienced hundreds of fires on his property in the summer of 1948 – but how did they start? (The Macomb Firestarter) *** Two men interested in the same woman – all three spending a day together. Not a good plan from the start. Add a bit of alcohol and you just may have a powder keg ready to explode. (Rum, Jealously, and Murder) *** Over the course of just two years, Christopher Duntsch operated on 38 patients in the Dallas area, leaving 31 paralyzed or seriously injured and two of them dead. It's no wonder he was given the morbid nickname of “Dr. Death”. (Doctor Death) *** A child's game of hide-and-seek turns to terror. (The House At The Front) *** In the Outback of Queensland, Australia, ghostly orbs of light have been frightening people for centuries. What do we know about the mystery of the orbs and what are some of the theories about what they could be? (The Min Min Orbs) *** Are extraterrestrials secretly watching over us and saving us from our own destruction? (Our Alien Protectors) *** Was the mass suicide at Jim Jones' commune in Guyana in 1978 a CIA mind control experiment?

Jonestown, Branch Davidians, Moonies, The Source Family. We have heard of some of the biggest cults of all time. This week we examine the rise of "micro-cults". Rather than have hundreds of followers that make waves in society following one leader there is a growing prevalence on cults with 10-20 members following a guru, be it a family member or someone who has just latched on to a family. That is exactly what happened to Peter Young when he married into a family who had a "family guru" after several years of marriage he realized that his character who went by "Uncle Robert" was much more than a family friend, but someone who controlled his wife and her immediate family. Through years of battles and a lot of truly mind blowing things happening (stolen wedding rings, "casino church', and surrogacy for the leader) this cult finally made him lose his marriage when he would not submit completely to the teaching. This is a remarkable story about the power of a cult of personality and getting out before it is too late._____________________________________Pick Up "Stop the Tall Man, Save the Tiger" here: https://shorturl.at/eklP7Peter's Website: https://www.authorpeteryoung.com/—————————————————————Link to all things Not in a Huff Podcast: https://linktr.ee/notinahuffpodcastPlease follow/subscribe to the podcast to be the first to see new episodes when they come out each week.

(episode unlocked from Patreon; it was also from 2021 so keep that in mind as my podcast and my research into this topic have both progressed since then) Full disclosure: this one might be rough because we're talking about child murder here. Don't mess around with your mental health; you can always listen to it later when you're in a better headspace. That said, today I'm talking about one of the many unacknowledged (by Agent Douglas) predecessors to the FBI's Behavior Science Unit - Dr. Lunde, a forensic psychiatrist to the criminally insane. He worked with Ed Kemper, John Lindley Frazier, Herb Mullin, the Hollywood Strangler, the Girl in the Box case, Dan White, Jonestown, Patty Hearst, Howard Hughes; all things you'd think Agent Douglas might mention right?  After that, I get into the Atlanta Child Murders as presented by Agent Douglas, introduce Wayne Williams, and then deconstruct some of the myths around the murders as per Programmed to Kill and The List. It's really intense. Next week is the deep dive on Wayne Williams. Trust me; it's gonna be nuts.

John Andrew Collins grew up in the royal family of the William Branham Message movement. His grandfather was the senior pastor at Branham's Tabernacle. John began to have doubts when he was 37 and started research that has continued for more than a decade. He is a prolific author who has revealed the intimate connection between some Pentecostalists - including Branham - with the Ku Klux Klan from its re-founding in 1915. He found links between Pentecostal Christianity and the Kardashian family; a Branham complex in Chile that smuggled Nazis into Argentina; the connection between Branham and Jim Jones who was responsible for the Jonestown killings; and even a connection to David 'Moses' Berg founder of the despicable child-molesting Children of God. A fascinating tour through one of the most influential groups in today's politicized religious right. Spike's note: most of the pictures in this video were taken from John Collins' excellent website - it is truly amazing in the depth of information there, so check it out!!!!

In the second installment of Jonestown we're picking up right where we left off. This week we're discussing Jim's time in Brazil where a prophetic vision led him to take his followers out west to California until an exposè was released that included interviews with ex-peoples temple followers and all hell broke loose leading Jim to uproot his followers once again and make their way to Guyana.

We've covered a lot Los Angeles area cults from the 1960s and 70s, but as it turns out, there were cults in LA long before that. Lots and lots of cults. Today's topic, the WKFL Fountain of the World Cult, more commonly known as The Fountain, formed in the 1940s. And their apocalyptic teachings would influence Charles Manson's vision of Helter Skelter.
