a conversation about cults, religions and everything inbetween

Welcome to another episode of Little Miss! This week my roommates and I are diving into the world of language and persuasion as we explore 'Cultish' by Amanda Montell. Are cults on a spectrum? What is the difference between a cult and a religion? Can something truly be “cultish?” In this podcast we dissect Montell's eye-opening exploration of how cult-like language and tactics are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Drawing on infamous group/mass deaths like Jonestown and Heaven's Gate to the dark side of fraternities and multilevel marketing, we unravel the secrets behind the power of words and the influence they hold over us all. Whether you're a language enthusiast or simply curious about the hidden forces that shape our decisions, 'Cultish' offers a fresh perspective that will leave you critical of the language all around you. If you’re enjoying the show please review/rate Little Miss wherever you listen 🤍Instagram: @littlemisspodcastofficialYouTube: @littlemisspodcastTik Tok: @littlemisspodcast
