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.

Some excellent points. But I feel like it's the tip of the iceberg.
this epizode was disturbing. not because of Kardashians, but the guest who wants to destroy capitalism via revolutionary means. I am from a former Soviet colony. Even 30 years after doing away with the totalitarian communist regime the country struggles with justice, democracy and human rights. The ignorance and zeal of the lady proposing this idea was shocking. Learn some history & economy before spewing this bullshit. revolutions of this type always brought about bloodshed and suffering. wtf.

Do these women even listen to these recordings before releasing them? They say "like" almost every other word! It absolutely detracts from intelligent commentary.
Very intelligent and articulate young women, but their interjection of the word "like" into every sentence is so distracting and detracts from the presentation of the material.
No real substance to this episode, just people chatting about their personal thoughts on veganism. Had to bail on the me, me,me.
I enjoy this podcast. The hosts are refreshingly articulate. However, it would be great if they could minimize the vocal fry and saying "like" all the time.
I would give up so much to be able to be a stay at home mom 😭 I only have 2 weeks left of maternity leave and I cry about it daily
this episode won't download or play
Lume Schmume. lol How many millions are spent annually to make us believe we stink? Could you be more selective with your sponsors? Think about it. Thanks!
"doctors have a corps of nurses" 🙄🙄🙄
not all rich ppl are white. not all white ppl are rich. racist bitches.
A frustrating listen that often tends to get distracted, miss background details and not get to the point. The presenters have a habit of not letting those they interview actually fully answer the questions which gets really frustrating. So often they go off on a tangent with a personal story which to be honest is not that interesting.
the culty-est part of Apple is how you say iPhones and iPads instead of phones and tablets when you aren't talking about Apple
You are talking about woman getting scammed, fear mongering, pseudo science and all very legit problems in our society today. Yet you are in the commercial break promotion a company that does food sensitivity testing? Please do some more research before promoting that nonsense... Those test are a cult on themselves.. Please inform yourself and do better...
The BSA actually put a lot of rules in place years ago to prevent child abuse. No adult is ever allowed to be alone with a child, for instance. Anyone who has been involved with Scouting in the last 35 could have told you that.
I listened to an ep recently, and they mentioned that Mexican parents are “naming their kids Usdollar” for some sort of clout or class-conscious reason. That sounds like one of those racial used myths (have heard similar myths spread about black parents). Anyone wanna help me out on the source?
I’m not a Kardashian fan at all. I agree they are problematic. But WTF? The goal is not ‘to abolish the police and prisons’. That’ll happen when we abolish crime. Kim is also not ‘deciding who deserves to be free and who doesn’t’. She is advocating for a prisoner who she believes (and likely is) wrongfully convicted.
The amount of ads on this is ridiculous
About you fearing the swiftie fandom! Hi! Swiftie here! I Wanted you to cover her fandom, since we are a bit culty sometimes hihi. Love you guys dw ever
Generally an interesting podcast but the presenters can be frustrating when interviewing their experts by moving on or interjecting before a question is fully answered. It's very clear they love the sound of their own voices and are not always paying attention to the topic at hand well enough to guide the interview properly.
love this podcast but 20-somethings giving parenting advice is hilarious 🙄🙄
UBI! woohoo!
I normally like this podcast I have been following it for awhile, but when you mention things like “big pharma is withholding the actual care for cancer to make money” it is simply unacceptable. As someone who works with cancer in big pharma and have my nearest suffering from cancer it is simply unacceptable. You are uneducated in this topic, show complete disregard for the whole industry and everybody devoting their life’s work to battle this disease. I will not waste effort trying to educate you in this as you have proven is is above your intelligence level. It will simply suffice that you have lost all my respect and one listener.
UBI baby! it's called the freedom dividend for a reason
I just want to say my wedding was under 2 grand and it actually was the best day of my life, so far. You can make it what you want if you stick to what matters to you(the couple).
interesting, my dept professors told us we'd be super poor and there weren't enough jobs in the field (I did my MA in history) like constantly
this podcast is super interesting and funny! you guys do great research and have the best guests. I've fallen into a couple cults myself over the years and this is cracking me up. I get the lightheartedness and appreciate the respect in all directions. keep it going. you should look into the cult of surrogacy from the surrogate POV.
+1 to normalizing devil's avocado 🙏🏽🙏👍🏽👍😈🥑😈🥑
I've loved every episode.....except this one.😕 it had a totally different flavor over all, I felt like I was being recruited into the cult of veganism with all the talk of the moral and ethical superiority of the "movement." That said....I'll continue to listen 🙃
Wish you would do one on amber heard snd her followers1 neutrally or not- would be interesting!
skincare routines have been around since ancient Egypt, not just "a few decades".
listened to this and then went to watch Deep Water on Hulu.. why do people like her voice?? I can't stand it..
hotlines do nothing. its true though. just bc you worked at one doesnt mean they are helpful. the ppl on the hotlines dont even talk to you. they tell you to go to the hospital and they hang up.
As someone who's into true crime I thought this one brought up some super important points. Extra care should be taken in making sure the fascination doesn't turn into simply entertainment, because one family's trauma shouldn't be that for someone else. Especially since the following is largely white. I went to a missing and murdered indigenous women event recently and hearing those stories firsthand changed how I consume true crime content. Its horrible. Their trauma replays every day and police solve nothing, and here we are with like, murder comedy and merchandise. 🫠
true crime heads = murderinos
"Petty LaBelle" bwahahaha!
Do an SEO episode or at least explain it and how it works.
💔 Disappointed with this episode
you mentioned my country "Persia" in this episode. we have got the same vibe here in Iran. there are lots of people who prefer to use essential oils and herbs instead of medicine. There was a ridiculous wave of using herbs to cure or prevent catching Covid. There was some people who suggested shoving some kind of oil up in the ass to get vaccinated against Covid. Funny moments! stupid people plus online misinformation equals comedy!
