Weird Crap in Australia

Episode 246 - The Ideal Human Environment Cult Part 1


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the little-known story of the Ideal Human Environment cult, also known as the Ringers Western Cult. Founded in Australia in the 1960s, the cult espoused a philosophy of self-sufficiency and isolation from mainstream society, attracting a group of devoted followers. We delve into the beliefs and practices of the cult, including their reliance on communal living and strict adherence to a code of conduct. We also examine the controversies and scandals that plagued the group, including the conviction of their leader James Salerno in 2019.

Join Holly and Matthew as they examine the world of the Ideal Human Environment/Project 2000, and the brand that made them famous.
