Een podcast over de hedendaagse ‘sekten’ die we allemaal volgen. Elke aflevering stelt de cultvragen die we ons allemaal afvragen… Denk je dat SoulCycle een sekte is? Hoe zit het met Elon Musk Stans? Of de koninklijke familie? Hoe zit het met spirituele beïnvloeders? Is Instagram zelf een sekte? Sounds Like A Cult, gepresenteerd door Amanda Montell, auteur van Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, analyseert elke week een andere tijdgeestgroep om de grote vraag te beantwoorden: deze groep klinkt als een sekte, maar is dat echt zo? En zo ja, hoe erg is dat?
Putting the “cult” in culture… Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about the Royal Family? What about Disney Adults? Or spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? We’re Sounds Like A Cult, an iHeart Radio Award-winning podcast that analyzes a different fanatical group every week to try and answer the big question: This ~sounds~ like a cult, but is it really? Created and hosted by New York Times-bestselling author Amanda Montell, co-hosted and produced by Chelsea Charles and Reese Oliver.

What happens when a seemingly innocent summer camp experience turns into a breeding ground for conformity, control, and groupthink? This week, Reese and Chelsea dive deep into the cult-like rituals of sleepaway camps, unpacking how a place meant for childhood fun can quickly slip into something far darker. From initiation rituals to absurd team-building exercises, we explore how sleepaway camps use isolation, authority, and shared secrets to create an all-encompassing sense of belonging. What happens when the quest for friendship and personal growth starts feeling more like a psychological experiment? With bizarre camp traditions, strict hierarchies, and a little bit of manipulation, we trace the fine line between team spirit and maybe a little mind control.
