55 episodes

Ever see that oddly identical group of people all cramming into a sketchy van or disappearing into rural land, and think to yourself, "I'd like to see what goes on in there..."? Whether you'd put on the matching outfit and dive on in, or just opt to be a fly on the wall, Cults I'd Join takes you to the inside as hosts Ameran and Jesse discuss the pros and cons of each group, what makes them tick, and whether or not they'd join. Join a new cult with us for an hour or so at a time. It's all the zany fun of cult joining, with none of that pesky commitment or potentially really bad decisions!

    Season 4 Half-Chat

    Season 4 Half-Chat

    This season we're doing twice as many episodes (two on each group), so we're doing twice as many season wrap-ups as well! We're halfway through, so let's revisit our first 6 cults we'd join, and decide who has the best snacks and outfits... which one from this batch is your first pick??
    Ps, CIJ will be on a two week break after this mid-season wrap up, and then we're back for the next 6 groups. Patreon will continue to have new episodes, so feel free to jump over there for extra content, and in the meantime, we'll see you in the Spiritual Besties group!

    The Handmaid's Tale

    The Handmaid's Tale

    Every season we join a fictional community, and this time, we're joining Gilead! Fabulous outfits? Check. Endless baked goods? Also check. Some issues that we'd call... problematic? THIS IS A BIG FAT YES. But you might know about those-- or recognize them from the dystopian parts of our real lives. See you over in Gilead, and blessed be the fruit! Sorry, we meant BRING FRUIT. It's a party.

    Ramtha Part 2

    Wow. NXVIUM is such a complex and constantly surprising... wait! We're supposed to be talking about Ramtha this week! Don't worry, we are, but yet again, NXVIUM is stopping by to join the party! See you this week for class with Ramtha, where we're about to control our reality, and hopefully go home with no blindfold related head injuries!

    Ramtha

    Ramtha

    Are you tired of traditional religious structures? Would you rather piece together pseudo science and colorful mythology delivered to you by a woman named Zebra channeling an ancient warrior man named Ramtha? Well then welcome, besties! You've come to the right place! Also there is some horrifying racism and blindfolded archery. See you in class at Ramtha's School of Enlightenment!

It’s like BSin’ with ya buds while talking about cults. 5 Star Humor. Sometimes it’s like they’re in my head… May have been besties in past life.

Love it

Just found it , and I’m very glad I did. The hostess are Jesse, and Ameran . They open-discuss the cult , and at the end, it gets rated. I feel like they’re approach to this specific topic, is innovative, and very spot on.

Different take on cults and I love it

I’ve listened to almost every other cult podcast out there and maybe can’t say this is my favorite because I like them all for different reasons but let me explain why this one is different why I DO love it.

- not interview style. Just a narrative of facts (with some opinion, of course)

- not coming from an anti cult stance. I wouldn’t say they’re pro cult but def pro community.

- jesse and ameran are intelligent and witty

- i feel like I’ve learned a lot more about cults because this isn’t interview style. And also never wanted to join one more 🤣

5 stars! Please listen!
