The Psychology of Cults

The chilling truths behind cult indoctrination, brainwashing, and survival.
Hosted by renowned cult investigator Mike King, The Psychology of Cults, a gripping live show, takes audiences deep inside the world of cults—how they form, why people join, and what it takes to break free. From infamous groups like Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, and NXIVM to lesser-known but equally dangerous organizations like the FLDS, Mike unpacks the psychology, manipulation tactics, and hidden dangers that cults use to control their members and get away with crimes.
Cult influence isn’t always as extreme as the headlines suggest. This show explores how coercion can happen in everyday life—within relationships, workplaces, wellness communities, and even social movements. With real-life stories, expert insights, and interactive discussions, audiences will learn to recognize red flags, protect themselves, and understand why people fall under the spell of high-control groups. Whether you’re fascinated, fearful, or just curious, this is the ultimate deep dive into one of society’s most mysterious and controversial phenomena.
