Ep. 125 The Illuminati Pt. 2: Forbidden Secrets
We're back from our break with part two of our series on The Illuminati! Join us as Mando tells Paige and Andrea about how Adam Weishaupt turned a rag-tag group of college boys into one of the most feared and infamous groups in history. Stay tuned at the end to hear the gang open up a special package, too! Spoiler: It's either proof that aliens are real or some really amazing art from some listeners. Maybe both.

The Blackburn Cult: Live at Panic Fest!
Sorry for the delay, but we promise it's worth it! This week our episode is the live show we performed at Panic Fest 2020! Join us as we take you, and a crowd of innocent civilians, through one of the most insane and, at times, upsetting groups we've ever covered. Learn all about how May Otis and her sister-daughter used some good looks and "questionable hands" to make a group of Jesus nerds excited about a book. Was that a strange series of typos? Nope. Buckle up, folks. It gets WEIRD.
