Drama, Cults & Human Behavior: A Late Night Spiral

from The Midnight Girlcast · host The Midnight Girlcast

This week Sarah & Anna take you on a winding journey through cults, criminals, and celebrity drama, and somehow it all connected. Sarah dives into the documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet, Anna shares the memoir The Sound of Gravel, and then we spiral (in the best way) into pop culture chaos, from Alex vs Alex to the internet’s obsession with picking sides. At the center of it all is one big question: why do humans get pulled in so easily? Whether it’s a charismatic leader, a viral personality, or a trending feud, we talk about manipulation, belonging, groupthink, and the psychology behind why people follow, defend, and sometimes ignore their gut instincts.Follow us:Instagram | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tik Tok | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Goodnight Midnight Girls
