Sounds Like A Cult

The Cult of The Bachelor (Bonus Part 2!)

A heavily controlled, totally isolated group of women who worship one "charismatic” male figure and aren’t allowed to read magazines, watch TV, or speak to their families… is this a cult or the most popular reality dating show in history? This week, we’re re-airing one of our fave Season 1 episodes with a new, updated intro. It’s the “cult” of The Bachelor Franchise, featuring special guest, former contestant, Kendall Long! We got the juicy inside scoop on how culty The Bachelor *really* is to try and figure out whether this objectively bizarre pop culture phenomenon is a Live Your Life, a Watch Your Back, or a Get the Fuck Out-level “cult.” 🌹  To support Sounds Like A Cult, keep up with our live show dates, <a href="https://isacomedy.com">see Isa's live comedy,</a> <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/cultish-the-language-of-fanaticism-amanda-montell/16290306?ean=9780062993151">buy a copy of Amanda's book Cultish</a>, or visit our website, <a href="https://linktr.ee/soundslikeacult">click here</a>!

A podcast about the modern-day “cults” we all follow. Each episode asks the culty questions we’re all wondering… Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about Elon Musk stans? Or the Royal Family? What about spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? Sounds Like A Cult, hosted by Amanda Montell, author of Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, analyzes a different zeitgeisty group every week to try and answer the big question: This group sounds like a cult, but is it really? And if so, how bad is it?
