My Lil Cult
by Aaron Morrell
Here you will be able to gain pointless knowledge from our long-lost past or the modern era, delivered in an open-minded, yet cynical and sarcastic way. I loved fun facts, and weird and unbelievable stories. If you prefer the weird over the "normal", the unorthodox rather than "the safe bet", then grab your sense of humor and wonder, and come on in. Welcome Home. 🪬 If you end up enjoying what you are about to pour into your earholes, then consider contributing to the cult. I really need some culty-looking robes if I'm going to pull this off. https://anchor.fm/mylilcult/subscribe
