Why wouldn’t you want to join a cult? That’s a question Stuart and I get round to addressing in the latest episode of the Imperfect Buddha Podcast. We also find time to cover Alison Mack and life after Smallville in a sex cult, Miranda, the latest Maitreya, and a number of other cults we missed out the first time round. Stuart brings his new found insights into super-powered hypno-wonder, and I reveal my disappointing IQ as we skirt around topical issues such as…IQ and the Alt-Right, existential crises and why being in a cult can actually be fun. We get in some conspiracy theories, give a mention to Michelle Pfeiffer, and even manage to spend a few words on Buddhism in the process. We had fun on this one and may offend a person or two. Please take this as a trigger warning. This episode features blasphemy, swearing, mention of S…E…X, Sam Harris, mind control and other topical human wonder.If you missed our first bash at cults, click here: Post-traditional-buddhism – 31-imperfect-buddha-podcast-cults-cultish-shennanigans-buddhist-groups

P.S. Complaints can be sent directly to the Italian Direct Independent Oversight Team. P.P.S Apologies for the sound quality: I was testing out a new mic set up and it didn’t quite work. It’s still highly listenable. We’ll have it fixed next time.Music supplied by Trieste’s Lorenzo Fragiacomo: http://www.youtube.com/user/LorenzoFragiacomo
