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.

From ‘90s teen heartthrob to yacht-hopping, model-dating, climate-crusading enigma, Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t just an actor—he’s an institution. But at what point does the behavior of this Oscar-winning icon cross into something a little more… cultish? This week, Amanda is joined by Caitlin Durante of The Bechdel Cast to take a deep dive into the Church of Leo, unpacking the eerie loyalty of his fans, the oddly specific habits of his inner circle (no one over 25 shall pass), and the ways in which his environmental activism is both inspiring and contradictory. Why does Hollywood treat Leo like the last true movie star? Is he just an A-lister with a type, or is there something deeper (and maybe a little weirder) going on in his revolving door of Victoria’s Secret protégées? And most importantly—are we in the cult of DiCaprio just by watching Titanic for the 100th time? Tune in as we break down the mythology, the memes, and the man in the iron mask. 🚢🌍🔥
