True Crime

Whether you'd put on the matching outfit and dive on in, or just opt to be a fly on the wall, Cults I'd Join takes you to the inside as hosts Ameran and Jesse discuss the pros and cons of each group, what makes them tick, and whether or not they'd join. Join a new cult with us for an hour or so at a time. It's all the zany fun of cult joining, with none of that pesky commitment or potentially really bad decisions!

We can't put a finger on who's got the best line to God, but we CAN tell you that white linen clothing, live foods, and a difficult relationship with gourds is a big YES from the team here at Cults I'd Join.
