Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii sweet culties!!! Thank you SO much for your patience as your cult leaders get their little duckies in a row for the next season of Sounds Like A Cult. We will be back SOONER THAN YOU THINK. Team SLAC has been toiling away at the new season, which is truly our cultiest yet—indeed, we are going there this time—and that may even mean some new cult mothers in the mix (!!!!!) idk idk 👀 Anyway, in the meantime, we wanted to introduce you to a podcast we sincerely hope you'll love. Those who enjoyed our "The Cult of Munchausen by Proxy" episode are likely already familiar with Nobody Should Be Believe Me, hosted by Andrea Dunlop, whose Season 4 just aired. Here's the first episode of Andrea's new season to fill your ear holes as you await Sounds Like A Cult's imminent return 🛸
Keep up with us on IG @soundslikeacultpod
Welcome to Season 4 of Nobody Should Believe Me! This season we are following the story of Jordyn Hope as they unravel the secrets of their childhood. After revelations that they were abused as a child, Jo bravely returns to their small, deeply religious hometown to attempt to unravel their many lingering questions about their upbringing. Was their abuse a secret? If not, why didn’t anyone help them? Jo connects with her first grade teacher and childhood best friend as they begin their search for answers. Andrea travels with Jo, hoping to help her friend find healing, and to see what the future might look like for the survivors in her own life.

The Cult of Twin Flames

New Age love & wellness influencers turned baby NXIVM: That's kinda the best way we can succinctly describe this week’s cult, Twin Flames Universe, one of the most chilling groups we’ve discussed on the pod thus far. Several months ago, Twin Flames survivor Jessi Hersey, whom you might recognize from the “Escaping Twin Flames” doc on Netflix, slid into our DMs and made a very generous and compelling argument as to why Twin Flames needed airtime on Sounds Like A Cult. After all, it’s important to represent the whole LYL, WYB, GTFO cult spectrum! This week, we're asking the fundamental questions: How did this niche online self-help “community” turn so destructive so fast, and how are its tenets low-key a threat to us all? Tune in to find out, and make sure to listen to the very end of the episode. We’re making a highly exciting announcement about the next season of SLAC... let’s just say there might be a couple new “cult leaders” (ahem, co-hosts) in your future!
