This episode was a tough one to research and record. We all joke about cults but the fact is cults ruin families and lives. This week we share stories of a couple of the worst cults in the world. Brace yourselves. Dana tells us about The Children of God cult and Ricky Rodriguez. This may be one of the first times we are on a killer’s side. Nydia tells us about The Yahweh cult led by their sadistic leader Michael Ryan. The small town of Rulo Nebraska may need a name change after you hear about the nightmare that happened here. Cindy gives us some pointers on how to spot and avoid cults and their recruiters. 

For dinner this week, Cindy made us an anniversary meal consisting of baked chicken with pancetta risotto and peas. For dessert, she surprised us with blueberry cheesecake with basil infused crust.  The wine this week was Gulp Hablo Orange, an organic wine with a blend of equal parts Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc.  This was a nice refreshing wine with a citrus taste.
