Introducing …A Very British Cult
In November 2021 investigative journalist Catrin Nye got a call from Dawn. She said her boyfriend Jeff was trying to leave a cult. But this cult was also a life coaching company. Dawn said Jeff had handed over more than £100,000 to them and wasted years of his life. And what Dawn is really worried about is that the group are still active; they’re recruiting new members and she needs to raise the alarm. Jeff had simply signed up for a life coach, so how did it all go so wrong for him? What happens when a life coach takes over your life? Catrin Nye and her team expose control, intimidation and fear at a sinister life coaching company. Reporter: Catrin Nye Written by: Jamie Bartlett and Catrin Nye Producers: Osman Iqbal, Natalie Truswell, Ed Main and Jo Adnitt Researcher: Aisha Doherty Executive Producer: Ravin Sampat Sound engineer: James Bradshaw Original music by: Phil Channell Commissioner: Rhian Roberts Archive clips from: Stephen Covey Video on Choosing Success (Success Television)

Customer Reviews
Very Interesting
Good to hear the perspective from the British survivors and families of the 30 deceased citizens. The Waco tragedy still resonates 30 years later 🙏
different perspective
lowkey makes americans seem lower class than brits; aside from that, it’s a brilliant podcast
Great follow-up to Netflix Waco
Just finished watching Waco on Netflix and I have learned that it is always good to follow up with multiple sources of additional information after these docu-dramas. While I believe what happened there was horrible, it is excellent to gain some additional information about the Branch of Davidians religion and to learn about more than the core members.
