Back to the Cult: Tony Alamo

This week on Caviar and Criminals, Anthony pulls Dana into one of the darkest and most bizarre cult stories you’ve probably never fully heard—Tony Alamo.What starts as a story about a flashy 1970s evangelist with celebrity connections and a growing following quickly spirals into something far more disturbing. As Anthony walks Dana through the rise of Alamo’s ministry, the cracks begin to show—control disguised as faith, loyalty enforced through fear, and a system that thrived on manipulation.But this isn’t just a story about a cult leader. It’s about how easily power can be built in plain sight—and how long it can go unchecked.Expect shocking moments, real quotes, and plenty of “wait…what?” reactions as Dana hears it all in real time.Because by the end of this episode, one thing becomes very clear:This wasn’t just a church. It was something much darker.Caviar & Criminals is a true crime and pop culture podcast hosted by Anthony Kurtz & Dana Parisi. New episodes every Thursday.
