Listen "S01E10 Cults: How They Hook You and Why It Works"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we break down the seven psychological tricks cults use to control their followers — and show how those same tactics showed up in real-life groups like Heaven’s Gate and NXIVM. From lonely crossroads to charismatic manipulators, we’ll explore how smart, ordinary people get pulled into dangerous belief systems — and how to spot the red flags before it’s too late. This one’s for the seekers, the skeptics, and anyone who’s ever felt a little lost on life’s long haul.
