We Are The Worst

CULT WEEK: A Professor Named Karen


Listen Later

Did you overdo your cult listening content over the holiday season? Looking to get that same great cult flavor without all of those pesky cult calories? Well, we suggest you try – CULT WEEK: LITE! Cult Week Lite is the episode where you can get all of the cult vibes but for half the calories of a full-on cult week episode – come listen!
Maggie is going to tell the story of the Church of Sacrifice this week. In this cult, the followers believed that 18-year-old Clementine Barnabet was a high priestess and, in order to gain riches and immortality, the cult members would have to perform human sacrifices – by murdering people with axes.
So, now that the axe murder is out of the way – we’re going to talk about Satanic Panic and how just because Professor Karen in the 1980s calls something a cult doesn’t mean that it is a cult. Dreia is going to tell us about the Great Toledo Cult. A nun got murdered and the investigation revealed that a bunch of priests were cross dressing (no shame) and then molesting children (lots of shame) in what the Karens sipping their pinot grigio referred to as a cult.
Buckle in and get ready for all the great cult flavor with only half of the cult calories, because we’re here with Cult Week LITE! Glad to have you listening.
