Summary

We're celebrating 1,000,000 downloads by kicking off a series that's been a long time comin'. With all the craziness surrounding the Branch Davidian's compound and violent end, it's important that we take a look at why the Feds were all shaken up. Just 9 months before everyone in America would know the town of Waco, TX, another standoff was underway. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the Weaver Family's story and we learn why everyone was so on edge. Also, we have a Patreon! [Insert Air Horn Noises Here] If you'd like to donate and join our cult, please visit www.patreon.com/cultpodcast or visit our website and click on the Patreon tab.
