Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about the Royal Family? What about Disney Adults? Or spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult?

Cult survivors Lola Blanc and Meagan Elizabeth talk to fellow survivors, former and current believers, experts, and everyone in between to try to get to the bottom of how extreme belief happens, who's susceptible (hint: everyone), and what being in a cult is actually like.
