A Little Bit Culty \\u2013

This episode is a little bit different. Author Miranda Beverly-Whittemore is not a former cult member or a cult awareness expert like most of our guests, but her novel Fierce Little Thing weaves a culty tale that almost makes you think she is. It\\u2019s a little like \\u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer,\\u201d except in this case, it\\u2019s \\u201cI Know What You Did When You Were a Teenager 20 Summers Ago While Living on a Survivalist Commune Run by a Charismatic Maniac in Rural Maine.\\u201d She joins Sarah and Nippy to talk about communes, cult fiction, and how \\u201cThe Vow\\u201d inspired the cultiverse of her latest story.
