Was I In A Cult?

The Cult of Warren Jeff’s FLDS Pt1: “Keep Sweet”


Listen Later

Before he was your favorite podcast host, Tyler Measom was… just a dude with a camera and a crush.


It was 2005, and Tyler found himself driving deep into FLDS polygamist territory - with his co-director-slash-maybe-love-interest (hey, Jennilyn) - to make a documentary about the "Lost Boys" exiled from a fundamentalist Mormon cult run by none other than slimeball Warren Jeffs. That little film? Sons of Perdition premiered at Tribeca. 


And one of the mothers at the heart of that story? Jorjina Broadbent.


This week, Jorjina, mother of twelve (yes, twelve), former sister-wife - joins us to recount what life was really like inside the FLDS: arranged marriage, relentless obedience, magical underwear, and raising a family in a trailer where babies sometimes had to sleep in drawers.


And the escape is hair raising. And Tyler was there to capture it.


This is Part One of Jorjina’s extraordinary story.
