WhaTheFlok?! “Cult Survival Stories” episodes
- Butterfly Makers| Guest Nixie
Hosted By Hoyt Richards & Chele Roland
In this episode, Chele brings in her best friend Nixie (which is a fictitious name to protect her identity). Nixie didn’t want to be filmed and wears a hat and glasses. And you’ll have to listen in, to understand the butterfly references. Together, they begin the first of many discussions about their indoctrination into the cult they were in together called the ICOC. Their ultimate goal is to make sure people don’t feel alone, and that others have a safe space to talk through and process their own experiences with cultic relationships! But in Chele’s own words, one of the best things about this cult was that it gave her a lifelong friend like Nixie! When you’ve been through something as traumatic as this together, it bonds you for life. #IGotOut

1 hr 1 min - The Model, the Liar, & CinDarFella | Guest Dar Dixon
Hosted By Hoyt Richards & Chele Roland
Join Dar Dixon, as he and Hoyt dig deeper into the Doomsday cult they escaped from called Eternal Values. They awakened together, to the fact that the Doomsday group they were in, was actually a dangerous cult! Dar’s vivid storytelling illuminates the fact that these cult leaders are calculated, manipulative, and relentless. The only thing that we didn’t like about this episode is that we ran out of time. So many more stories and nuances to tell, so we will definitely be having Dar back on for another episode! #IGotOut

5 min - Origin Stories
Hosted By Hoyt Richards & Chele Roland
Welcome to our inaugural episode!
Nobody ever sets out to join a cult, but cultic relationships are lurking everywhere!
You might think that this could never happen to you, but we’ve all been affected at some point by a controlling or abusive group or person. Our hosts, Hoyt Richards and Chele Roland, are perfect examples of what it means to go from “victim to survivor to thriver!”
In this first episode we get to know our hosts:
During his time as the world’s first male supermodel, and a Princeton football player, Hoyt was also entrenched in a dangerous doomsday cult for 20 years, that he ended up giving multi-millions of dollars to. While Chele was in a destructive religious cult for 17 years, married to a stranger, with every aspect of her life on the line— also being forced to give massive amounts of money.
They were both leaders in their cults, and between them, have 37 years of experience and harrowing tales, from two entirely different vantage points.
Their goal in sharing their own stories first— is not to normalize trauma, but to normalize trauma “recovery,” and raise people’s awareness and comfort level in talking about abusive relationships of all kinds. #IGotOut

Hosted by Hoyt Richards & Chele Roland
RAW | DISTURBING | INSPIRING
Cultic relationships are EVERYWHERE!
We’ve all been affected at some point by a controlling or abusive group or person, and Hoyt and Chele are the perfect examples of what it means to go from “victim to survivor to thriver.”
Our hosts were both leaders in their different, but equally destructive cults, and between them, they have 37 years worth of harrowing tales and vantage points.
Not only will they bring on experts and courageous guests to share their own cult survival stories, but they will be peeling back all the messy layers, to expose the underbelly of how cults use indoctrination to kidnap the mind and hijack the soul.
Join us as we reveal the terrifying truths about cultic relationships, how to avoid them, and how to heal from them—and you’ll probably find yourself saying WhaTheFlok?! #IGotOut
