The Cult of The Landmark Forum

Since the early 1990s, The Landmark Forum has claimed to be a “personal and professional growth, training, and development company” providing the tools for self-actualization. In reality, it’s more like a NXIVM-style scam that uses pseudo-psychology, verbal abuse, and (frankly) torture tactics (including sleep and food deprivation) to make participants feel permanently dependent on the group. With the help of listener call-ins, Amanda and Isa unpack this costly self-help franchise to figure out if it’s as GTFO-level as it sounds.

Om Podcasten

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?  Follow Us: Podcast Instagram - @soundslikeacultpod Host Amanda Montell - @amanda_montell (Preorder her new book!)
