Did you guys know cults are super trendy right now? Sarah and Lorraine always have their finger on the pulse, trust. For this culty ep, Sarah gets learnt up on the ultra-Orthodox sect Lev Tahor, aka the “Jewish Taliban” and its shady leader Shlomo Helbrans, who moved the group all around the world to evade various criminal charges like kidnapping and child abuse. Dope! Lorraine discusses the Black Hebrew Israelites, specifically the controversial “black supremacist” group Nation of Yahweh. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this gnarly bunch is based out of Florida, America’s craziest state. The gals also chat about Wild Wild Country, their run-ins with modern day cults, and whether women can ever hope to be cult leaders -- or whether we must resign to being the devious Sheelas behind the scenes.
