  • Bonus: A Conversation with Jen Miller

    Bonus: A Conversation with Jen Miller
    Apr 9 2026
    Today we're talking with Jen Miller, journalist, author of five books, and the reporter and co-producer behind Blood Will Tell, a new limited series podcast from Wondery and Campside Media.
    Jen's work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and many other esteemed publications. She holds both an MFA in fiction and a master's in journalism from Columbia. She's also spent the last decade running the Senior Media Fellows Program at the American Immigration Council, helping over a thousand people tell their own immigration stories in their own words.

    The story that brought her to us today started with a Washington Post assignment about Shakespeare being used as therapy in prisons and ended with her down a rabbit hole that led to the creation of Blood Will Tell. The podcast overs the true story of 18-year-old Anh and Trung, Vietnamese-American identical twin brothers in San Jose, California and a birthday party that turned fatal.

  • Raëlism: The UFO Religion | Sinisterhood & Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes

    Raëlism: The UFO Religion | Sinisterhood & Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes
    Apr 8 2026

    Follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes to hear the full episode and our in-depth conversation with Vanessa Richardson about Raëlism and our takeaways from the cult.

    In the 1970s, a French journalist claimed he was contacted by extraterrestrial beings who revealed that humanity was scientifically created by an advanced alien race. From that encounter, the Raëlian Movement was born, blending UFO belief, sensual freedom, and a futuristic vision of human destiny. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson examines the rise of founder Claude Vorilhon, known as Raël, and the group’s teachings about the Elohim, cloning, and eternal life through science. As the movement spread internationally and made headlines with controversial claims of human cloning, critics challenged its credibility and internal practices. This episode explores how a message of cosmic origins and technological salvation evolved into one of the most unusual and debated new religious movements of the modern era.

I love that Heather and Christie vary their topics. Some weeks it’s a famous crime or a serial killer, sometimes it’s a cult and sometimes it’s a supernatural story or a cryptid. What I love the most about them is their personalities. They are absolutely hilarious while still being sensitive to the serious content. They are so down to earth and relatable that when I listen I feel like I’m hanging out with my friends.

My favorite podcast!
