Her experiences in Northern California sex cults set this entrepreneur up to run one of her own. She claimed her company’s goal was simple: to foster connection between individuals through the practice of orgasmic meditation. But those who joined called it a prostitution ring, complete with coercive control, financial manipulation, and sexual abuse - all packaged in shiny Silicon Valley wellness culture. This week’s episode is OneTaste Sex Cult - Part 1.

He was one of the bestselling Christian comedians on the touring circuit, with millions in revenue, a dedicated staff, and followers willing to fund his lifestyle with “love offerings.” But soon, two journalists - a pair of fellow Christians, no less - shed a less-than-flattering light on the self-proclaimed Bishop, and the whole empire came tumbling down. This week’s episode is Mike Warnke, Fake Satanist – Part 2.

Today I am talking with someone whose work Christie and I deeply respect and whose podcast topics often overlap with our own. You know her from hit podcast You’re Wrong About, where she has spent years helping listeners peel back the layers of cultural myths, moral panics, and the stories we think we remember.
Sarah Marshall’s newest project, The Devil You Know, is an eight-part deep dive into the Satanic Panic: the believers, the skeptics, the wrongfully accused, and everyone caught in the blast radius. It’s a human story about the way fear spreads, the systems that fail us, and why the myths never really die.

The Devil You Know
You're Wrong About

The Satanic Panic swept the country 1980s, in which claims of widespread ritual abuse and occult conspiracies were treated as real threats. Targets were wrongfully convicted, children were taken from marginalized homes, all while much of the “evidence” seemed to stem from one man’s written account. He rose to fame claiming he freed himself from the Illluminati’s Satanic control, but what if it was all a crock of lies? This week’s episode is Mike Warnke, Fake Satanist – Part 1.
