After a recap of their best (read: worst) early-2000s fashion, and a short history of the infamous store Gadzooks, we get into the cults. This week was terribly depressing, so we’re sorry about this one; grab a snack and a cozy blanket! Allie starts out by telling us about the $700 jacket of our dreams, created by anti-Catholic cult leader Tony Alamo. Meagan then brings it down further with the story of The Goler Clan, a community in the Canadian mountains whose generations of isolation and incest were uncovered in the 1980s. The articles Allie references can be found here: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2007/ravening-wolf tony-alamo-minister-sexual-abuse.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/us/obituary-tony-alamo-minister-sexual-abuse.html Also - It’s almost EPISODE 50!
