About this episode

Hosted by Tyler Measom and Liz Iacuzzi, Was I In A Cult? is a documentary-style podcast  featuring far-out, first-hand stories of survivors who unwittingly joined, lived in, and escaped, cults. Using levity and info-tainment, the show humanizes the cultic experience and may leave some of our listeners asking themselves…“Wait…was I in a cult?”
