Inside the Mind: Cults, Control, and Charisma


Listen Later

What makes someone follow a cult leader—and what makes that leader so dangerously magnetic? In this episode, we dive into the psychology behind cults and their leaders, exploring the mechanisms of control, manipulation, and belief. From the tragic tale of Heaven's Gate to the bizarre rise and fall of Rajneeshpuram, and the chilling legacy of Charles Manson, we break down how these groups form, thrive, and unravel. Join us for a deep, unsettling look into the human mind—and how far it can be pushed.
