S01E10 Cults: How They Hook You and Why It Works
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In 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.
