Very fun, insightful podcast. Relatable and timely.

I enjoy the thoughtful and fun discussion of "cultish" groups in our culture, but I find some aspects of the show, such as their fake British accents and goofy sound effects, really cringy. I wish it would grow up about 10%

Description

A podcast about the modern-day “cults” we all follow. Each episode asks the culty questions we’re all wondering… Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about Elon Musk stans? Or the Royal Family? What about spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? Sounds Like A Cult, hosted by Amanda Montell, author of Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, analyzes a different zeitgeisty group every week to try and answer the big question: This group sounds like a cult, but is it really? And if so, how bad is it?
