The Cult of Anti-Vaxxers
September 23, 2025
•77m
This week, Amanda is joined by vaccine scientist Dr. Peter Hotez and cultural critic Jane Borden (@janebordan) to unravel the misinformation machine and identity politics that keep this movement alive. Together, we break down not only how the anti-vax community functions like a high-control cult, with its own martyrs, prophets, and sacred texts (looking at you, “do your own research”), but also what vaccines actually are and how they work, cutting through the noise of pseudoscience and fearmongering. Why do some people reject mountains of evidence in favor of YouTube rabbit holes? How did “mommy Facebook groups” metastasize into a full-on political identity? And what can we do to push back against the dangerous myths fueling this movement? From myth-busting to meaning-making, this episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most harmful cults of our time.

The Cult of Chick-fil-A
September 30, 2025
•66m
It’s not just a chicken sandwich, it’s a ca-ca-calling
This week, host Amanda and special guest Carys Kolb (@carys.avooca), former employee and the pod's very own sister-in-law, dig into the waffle-fried, lemonade-sweetened, suspiciously polite world of Chick-fil-A. It's the fast-food chain that’s managed to turn fried chicken into both a lifestyle brand and a moral battleground. From the addictive sauce and cult-like customer service to the company’s controversial history of funding anti-LGBTQ+ causes, Chick-fil-A devotees don’t just crave the food... they defend the brand like it’s a religion (and it is???). What makes devotees line up around the block for a sandwich closed on Sundays? And how do you reconcile nuggets with nationalism? Grab your waffle fries and your cognitive dissonance, we’re serving up a saucy dip into one of America’s tastiest cults. Our pleasure!!!
