If you know anything about America you know it has a very horrific and racist history. This story will still shock you. On May 31, 1921 a mob of white people gathered around the courthouse looking to get their hands on a teen accused of assualting a white girl. Despite the fact that the girl took back her accusation and the sheriff didn't really believe her in the first place, the mob wanted "justice".

Zompires? Vambies? It's a mystery. If you think this is going to be an episode where we talk about zombies and a loving relationship between a man and his dog then you are so wrong.

175-If You Really Loved Me

Book Cult ·

2024/07/17

If you think you have daddy issues just wait until you hear about this guy. Today we are taking a dip into true crime because we read If You Really Loved Me by Ann Rule. This book is about the horrific case of Cinnamon Brown and the murder of her stepmother, Linda Brown. It has a lot more Manson references than you would expect and a former member of a biker gang steals the show at trial but most importantly, David Brown dies in jail and his victims get to have a second chance at life.Become a

Mini 75: Conservapedia (Trump Got Shot)

Book Cult ·

2024/07/17

Why do conservatives want us to read about Mien Kamf so much??? Today's mini is a journey into the conservative version of Wikipeida, created apparently by homeschooled teenagers. We get to learn a lot about homophobia, the fetuses of the Titantic, and even more homophobia! Why are we talking about Conservapedia? Because Donald Trump got shot in the ear.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.

Book Cult ·

2024/07/09

6 tattoos is way too many tattoos, according to a tattoo artist apparently.

Book Cult ·

2024/07/09

We love an anti-racist socialist and that is what Stieg Larson was. While we may not suggest overworking yourself while smoking 60 cigarettes a day, we do suggest being as cool as Stieg.

Book Cult ·

2024/07/03

If you thought going to school sucked as a kid, then you are not ready to hear about how much worse it is to grow up with a fundamentlist, paranoid father who has almost complete control over your family and forces you to work in a scrap yard as a young child. Tara Westover's memoir might be controversial but there is no denying that this is the reality for some children and it is horrifying.

Mini 73: Divorce is Good!

Book Cult ·

2024/06/24

People want to make divorce harder or maybe even get rid of it altogether, and why? Because they hate everyone who isn't a straight man. Divorce literally has saved lives and anyone who says we should get rid of it is just wrong and probably a facist.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.
