Cults I"d Join

Jesse and Ameran

Ever see that oddly identical group of people all cramming into a sketchy van or disappearing into rural land, and think to yourself, "I"d like to see what goes on in there..."? Whether you"d put on the matching outfit and dive on in, or just opt to be a fly on the wall, Cults I"d Join takes you to the inside as hosts Ameran and Jesse discuss the pros and cons of each group, what makes them tick, and whether or not they"d join. Join a new cult with us for an hour or so at a time. It"s all the zany

MOVE

Cults I"d Join ·

2025/04/29

This week we are joining the Africa Family of Philadelphia, better known as MOVE. The best part of MOVE? It's not an acronym. It's a descriptor of their life path, and we dig it.

Buddhafield

Cults I"d Join ·

2025/04/15

Buddhafield is a lot of fun if you don't count the downward-dog-man guru. Let's do some yoga with the members, talk community and enlightenment, and then burn the whole thing down! Metaphorically speaking. Anyway, they leave us with some good questions, some great stories, and a lot to ponder. Original song and performance by Devon Sproule Love Cults I'd Join?

Padanaram

Cults I"d Join ·

2025/04/03

Strict patriarchy? Check. Ordained by God? Double check. Bottomless beer and a horse for every baby? Chickety-chickety check. Padanaram is a mix of great potlucks, bomb-ass parties, a lot of praying, and a hierarchy not to be messed with. It's also the tale of a community who has given itself the grace to shift course, adjust self-identity, and evolve through many iterations over its 6-decades-and-still-going history. Let's join Padanaram for an hour-- it's worth the trip! Original song and ...
