Welcome to Cults Anon, the podcast where we talk about cults from the perspective of avoidance and recovery!

Join me this week for a frank discussion of one of the most notorious cult-related incidents in American history widely remembered as "The Jonestown Massacre". We will examine the possible psychology and motivations behind cult leader Jim Jones while reviewing the escalating series of events that culminated in the heartbreaking tragedy of the Jonestown Massacre where over nine hundred people lost their lives in a single day. By accurately remembering and acknowledging the past we can hope to learn vital lessons about how to prevent similar tragedies in the present. Listener Discretion is advised.

Welcome to Cults Anon, the new podcast about cults! We approach the topic of cults and similar high-control groups through the lens of recovery: like a support group for people who no longer want to be in a cult. If you are in a high-control group and are looking for the support and advice on how to leave, or if you want to learn more about cults in order to avoid them in the future, then this is the podcast for you! Join us every Monday for a new episode exposing the toxic traits and strategies of cult leaders, learning the history of various cult organizations, and practicing the techniques of personal autonomy and self realization that foster true individual sovereignty.

In this introductory episode we tackle the basic question: What is a cult? We explain the BITE model developed by behavioral analyst and cult survivor Steven Hassan and the slightly altered BITES model that we will utilize in this podcast going forward as well identifying other common features that make up a cult.
