Cult Liter With Spencer Henry

Veteran journalist Joe Nocera’s neighbor in the Hamptons was a therapist named Ike. Ike counted celebrities and Manhattan elites as his patients. He’d host star-studded parties at his eccentric vacation house. But one summer, Joe discovered that Ike was gone and everything he’d thought he’d known about his neighbor -- and the house next door -- was wrong. From Wondery, the company behind Dirty John and Dr. Death, and Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” is a story about power, control and turning to the wrong person for help for three decades. Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, a columnist for Bloomberg. The Shrink Next Door is now an Apple Original series, starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Watch now only on Apple TV+.  Listen to the Shrink Next Door now!  https://link.chtbl.com/shrink_next_door?sid=Audio-Shrink_Next_Door_2021-Cult_Liter_with_Spencer_Henry See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s Monday cult babes, and we’re nearing the end of Cult-vember! In this week’s episode we are primarily focusing on the deadly aftermath of Ervil LeBaron’s cult which were covered in ‘Mormon Manson’ and ‘Mormon Manson: Ervil’s Revenge.’ This is our ‘finale’ of the LeBaron family coverage. It’s been said that violent death seems to follow these people, and that much I know to be true.  Write me: spencer@cultliter.com Follow along online: instagram.com/cultliterpodcast Check out my new show OBITCHUARY wherever you’re listening now!  Sponsors:  Hello Fresh: HelloFresh.com/CultLiter14 for up to 14 free meals + 3 free gifts!
