Podcast: Was I In A Cult?
Published On: Mon Aug 25 2025
Description: Michael grew up believing his hometown in Germany was just that — a quiet, picturesque community with cobblestone streets, tidy homes, a school, and a grocery store. At its heart stood the church, looming over daily life.But what looked like small-town order was really something far darker. Built in the aftermath of World War II, by leaders with lingering Nazi ties, the town was engineered for control: walls without walls, designed to keep its people in and the rest of the world out.Years later, in a casual conversation with a sibling, the truth unraveled:This wasn’t just a devout community.It was a cult.COME SEE US LIVE!!!Los Angeles • September 9, 2025With special guest: comedian Moses Storm@ Dynasty TypewriterVIP “Meet & Greet” tickets available!Not in LA?
