Every weekday, we recommend a podcast related to a movie or TV show you can watch at home: Prophesied to die young and surviving near-death-experiences, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh felt discomfort with his own mortality from a young age. Over time, his spiritual studies and strong beliefs about capitalism and sexuality led Rajneesh to become a charismatic cult leader. For more episodes like this one, subscribe to Cults on Spotify. Also, check out the Netflix docuseries Wild Wild Country, which is now available to stream!
