The Hermits of the Wissahickon and Heaven's Gate

Lindsay and Madison are joined by Emily from the Drink, Drunk, Dead podcast. Together they discuss two Doomsday cults - Heaven’s Gate and The Hermits of the Wissahickon - as well as the importance of last meal selection, that the Book of Revelations is a great how-to manual, and that living with a bunch of dudes in the woods isn’t as cool as people make it out to be.
