All right, we all want to feel connected, right?

And it leads most of us too.

Sometimes we look for outsiders to help us find those answers.

And that's where cults find their members.

Some control you with sex.

Some by gaslighting you about your past or other vulnerabilities.

And there's even one that tells you you can survive with no food and no water just by breathing

and paying them to tell you how to do it. I'm Patty Steele. Movie stars who grew up in cults.

That's next on the backstory.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

From I-Heart Podcast, before social media, before cable news, there was Alan Berg.

He was the first and the original shock.

Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A body, a suspect, and a hundred years of silence.

they commit it the same way.

The past is a way of talking if you know what to listen for.
