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?
A podcast about the modern-day “cults” we all follow. Each episode asks the culty questions we’re all wondering… Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about Elon Musk stans? Or the Royal Family? What about spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? Sounds Like A Cult, hosted by Amanda Montell, author of Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, analyzes a different zeitgeisty group every week to try and answer the big question: This group sounds like a cult, but is it really? And if so, how bad is it?

NOT going to lie, this episode was a wee bit nerve racking to record!!! Despite the, ahem, LARGE number of requests we received for this topic (which would make you think it was ubiquitously reviled), the acolytes in this group ride HARD for their leader! Money and religion are the twin engines that make the world go ‘round, dear culties, and as such, they are the perfect mediums for sinister influence. This week’s subject has been ~blessing~ the airwaves and teaching your parents how to be debt free AND godly since the 1990s…the OG finance bro…the one and only… Dave Ramsey. This week, Amanda and Reese take a trepidatious foray into the chaotic, testosterone-filled, rapidly aging world of Ramsey Solutions with the help of seasoned Dave Ramsey experts (though, tbh, *survivors* is probably a more apt word) Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni from the Frugal Friends Podcast.
