Join us for part one, as Sam tells Jon the story of Aum Shinrikyo, who were responsible for a huge terrorist attack in 1995. This episode we get into their origins, their founder and their beliefs and practices- and you can tick some things off your cult bingo card!

We’ve been away for a little while so the first 6 mins is catching up with where we’ve been, for those of you who hate our waffling.

Also: When to listen to the voices in your head, Jon’s hot take on acupuncture, we discuss the qualities of whips, as well as a surprise Nostradamus revelation…

CW: Strong language, crimes, some references to but not descriptions of sexual assault and murder.
