Cultish

On this episode, host Meg Harris, is joined by Savanna Crosby to talk about Cultish by Amanda Montell. In the book, Montell breaks down how cults manufacture intense ideology and belonging cues through language. We cover it all from the horrors of Jonestown and Heaven's Gate to the community mindset of Cross Fit and MLM social media schemes. Savanna and Meg even offer a window into their own brushings with cults while living in Chicago.Follow on Instagram:@IReadItOnAPodcast@Amanda_Montell@savannacrosbeeSources:https://amandamontell.com/cultish/
