Great episode from @CultFavoritePod today y’all! There’s a ton regarding control, evangelicalism, eating culture, authority, etc. I learned about Christian diet books, the 80’s, autocratic and academic politics, and parenting tactics.

Y’all, this episode was so good. Amazing way to celebrate ten episodes! Loved it when Merinda accidentally stumbled into celestial marriage theology.

Take a trip with us to the early 1980s in rural Oregon, where the town of Rajneeshpuram nestled next to the town of Antelope. Insider/Outsider politics ensue on multiple fronts, including but not limited to: religion, race, economics, voting rights, immigration, and salmonella.

New episode! We talk Jonestown, personal narrative, and why people feel compelled to make things make sense. Along the way, we learn why Mike doesn’t like sad movies. Detours include: Ethan Hawke’s Hamlet remake (we love you, Julia Stiles), Black Christmas, and climate change.
