A Little Bit Culty \\u2013
In this premiere episode of A Little Bit Culty, co-hosts Sarah Edmondson and Anthony \\u201cNippy\\u201d Ames catch listeners up on life since NXIVM, and their new normal as whistleblowers documented in the critically-acclaimed HBO series The Vow. The pair share the story of how the A Little Bit Culty podcast came to be, and state some intentions and ground rules up front. Namely, as co-hosts of the podcast, they don\\u2019t want to be in the business of punching down on people who are still in cults. They also state their mission to be as responsible as possible with the platform, and to help other people by having the honest, informed conversations they wish they\\u2019d heard when they were in NXIVM.\\xa0

Sarah and Nippy also discuss how the experience of leaving NXIVM has affected their relationship and their outlook now: especially in the aftermath of Keith Raniere\\u2019s conviction and 120 year prison sentence. They also tackle some burning questions from people who\\u2019ve followed their story closely: Did Keith ever hit on Sarah? Where did Nippy get his name? Are you still friends with anyone from NXIVM, and do you ever want to talk to Lauren or Nancy again? Then they wrap it all up by sharing a few of the less headline-worthy things that really chapped their ass about NXIVM: from the organization\\u2019s flying monkeys and fixers, to\\xa0 office politics and full-on interoffice polyamory.
