About this podcast

Belief is powerful, but in the wrong hands, it can become a tool for control. Step into the shadowy world of cults and high control groups, where manipulation masquerades as salvation and escape is never simple. This podcast holds space for the real stories with survivors and those who dared to walk away. Join our community and be part of the conversation that challenges the way we see belief, control, and recovery.Join us over on patreon.com/Cultturepod or Instagram at cult.ture.pod and thank you for the support!
