Episode 34 - Aum Shinrikyo (Japanese Death Cult)Part I

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike. This week the chaps discuss the Japanese death cult mountain wizards that are Aum Shinrikyo. They explore the cult's charismatic half-blind acid-fueled leader and their belief systems, their obsessions with the manufacture and targeted distribution of chemical and biological weapons on the Japanese public, the cultural and spiritual zeitgeist of Japan in the 1980s, and the effect of the atomic bomb on the national psyche. Also, NASA astronauts pass lie detector tests on UFO sightings in space, the man who collects celebrity poo, and Mike is already prepping for 'Harumageddon' by sabotaging his boiler and eating his neighbors.
