Phil speaks with Christina Ward, author, editor, and Vice President of Feral House, about her research into subcultures and cults.

Ward defines a subculture as "a smaller group of people outside of the mainstream culture," often formed in reaction to dominant societal values. She highlights their fluid nature, explaining that as ideas become mainstream, subcultures evolve into "smaller subgroups."

These groups are often united by shared styles, clothing, activities, or rituals.
