About this episode
A long-time listener, first-time caller opens up about finding belonging in an unexpected place: a religious cult she joined in college. She and Gethard discuss the appeal of tight-knit communities, the difficulty of leaving controlling environments, and the surprising role a flash mob played in her story.
