Join us for Our non-Christmas non-special, as Jon tells Sam about this female founded cult, channelling Jesus and other Astral beings to predict the end of the world, which definitely happened in the 1950s. We learn about the rival prophets, their beliefs and the ways people stay in groups after disappointments.

Also, we find the easiest ways to name cults and cities, work out the worst place to time travel to, hear surprising messages from the beyond, and the Christmas song that scares Jon the most.

More Mulch.

CW: Strong language, 50’s misogyny.

Join us as Sam tells Jon the story of the cult with no name, also known as the Brethren. This was a listener recommendation, thanks Nely!

In this episode we hear about their eating habits, their beliefs and their fashion- as you can imagine for a group that lives like Jesus' disciples, it's unconventional...

Also, Sam says the worst thing Jon thinks she’s ever said, Peter learns a new lifestyle and we name our book.

TW: Strong language, general yuckiness- no gore.

Join us as Jon tells Sam about the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God- a church that promises to Fill your Void, through the campaign of Israel in the Temple of Solomon.

Jon visits with (shock!) another friend, and shares with us the story of their encounter, including drinking mysterious substances, attempting to be led towards a true emotional experience, a volcano and a wheely lectern.

The episode describes the visit, after the visit we learn some more information about this group, their practices, beliefs and crimes.

Also, Jon doesn’t put his hand up properly, and maybe his wisdom tooth is healed now?
