Ep. 100 Heaven's Gate: The Elephant Walk

This is one important Monday for us. We're dropping our 100th episode, starting our series on one of the most infamous cults in history, and launching our Patreon! But let's take it slow and start with this week's episode. Join us as Mando takes Paige and Andrea through the life and times of Marshall Herff Applewhite and his platonic partner, Bonnie Nettles. To find out how the group became what it did we have to start at the very beginning and look at the backgrounds of this cult's founders. Before they were "Ti and Do" they were two kids from Texas just trying to do The Elephant Walk and look to the stars! Also, we just launched our Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to donate and join our cult, please visit www.patreon.com/cultpodcast or visit our website and click on the Patreon tab. Also also, we're doing another live show! To see us live on August 27th at 7:30pm in Burbank, CA go to www.cultpodcastshow.com/burbank or visit our website and click on the shows tab.

Ep. 95 Ghost Dance: A Gritty Reboot of Clippy

Howdy, partner. Mando spent too much of his free time playing a cowboy themed video game so he decided to take Paige and Andrea on a trip to the Wild West.
