Welcome To The Spiral

We’re not saying you’re in a cult… but have you checked?In this premiere episode of This Could Be A Cult, host April Rain peels back the perfectly curated curtain of everyday life to expose something lurking beneath the surface: cult-like conditioning disguised as culture. From nostalgic commercials to influencer catchphrases, generational beliefs to reality TV, we’ve been raised to follow scripts we didn’t write—and rarely question. This isn’t about robes or Kool-Aid. It’s about the subtle ways we’ve all been trained to conform, consume, and belong… at any cost.Think your Bravo binge or “Live, Laugh, Love” wall art is harmless? You might be right. But also… maybe not.This episode sets the stage for the weeks to come, where we’ll dig into MLMs, fandoms, wellness traps, and the darker side of devotion—with a wink, a side-eye, and a healthy respect for sarcasm. Consider this your official welcome into the spiral.
