Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness

What Makes A Cult A Cult? with Dr. Natalie Feinblatt

Dr Natalie Feinblatt explains the four criteria an organization needs to meet to be called a cult and looks at how the term can be used and misused in relationship to religions and rehabilitation programs. Plus, Jonathan asks about murder porn cults and Wild Wild Country, because that’s what the podcast charts like, right?
