Buckle up ALBC babies, we\\u2019re about to go all over the map through Hollywood, the music industry, Australia, and a couple decades of cult-hopping. In fact, it\\u2019s so epic that (picture this) we are holding an invisible boombox over our heads outside your window while blaring Peter Gabriel, asking you to listen. Got the picture? Okay cool: Because we\\u2019re chatting with Ione Skye and Ben Lee, married podcasters that you may know from their hilarious Weirder Together podcast. Or maybe you know him as a prolific singer-songwriter, and her from the high school of your John Hughes teen cinema dreams. Or maybe, just maybe, you were in a cult with them at some point. It\\u2019s not statistically improbable because they\\u2019ve been in a few culty situations, from chasing Qigong, to following Gurus and slinging DoTerra essential oils. Heads up: This isn\\u2019t our regular format. It\\u2019s more of a Rom-Com than the stuff of True Crime, but these two are thoughtful and funny as hell on the subject of loving people through\\u2014and out of\\u2014cults. And we\\u2019re always interested in hearing from people who\\u2019ve dabbled and ducked out before things got too fucky. Lots of cultiverse easter eggs in this one, from David Lynch to QAnon, Theranos to Sean Penn, Rick Ruben to Ruby Tuesday\\u2019s\\u2013just kidding about that last one. If you\\u2019re a cult nerd, this one will be mother\\u2019s milk. Put on your New Year\\u2019s jammies, and enjoy.\\xa0
