We are thrilled to have Edgar Award Winning author and weird history expert J.W. Oker on the show to discuss his newest book Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations―and Take Over Our Lives an insightful yet quirky and often times amusing look at thirty different cults, from heavy hitters like the Manson Family, Jim Jones and Aum Shinrikyo, to lesser known groups you may have never heard of like the Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven and the John Frum Cargo Cult.
