Talkhouse Welcomes Critically-Acclaimed A Little Bit CultyTo Its Roster of Podcasts

With the launch of a brand new season, Talkhouse is thrilled to welcome the critically-acclaimed A Little Bit Culty to its Webby Award-winning podcast network. Focused on telling creator-centric stories from the first-person perspective of musicians, actors, athletes, filmmakers and more, Talkhouse is built on a foundation of conversations rooted in the authenticity, credibility and creativity that is shared by A Little Bit Cultyhosts Sarah Edmondson and Anthony 'Nippy' Ames. Since the show's start in 2021, the married co-hosts have explored all things culty, cultish, and cult-like through a series of uniquely survivor-centric conversations with fellow former cult members, clinicians, and experts. As former NXIVM cult members featured in the hit HBO docuseries The Vow, their guest list has included Scientology nemesis Leah Remini, theologian Nadia Bolz-Weber, LuLaRich docuseries fan favorite Roberta Blevins, and former prosecutor Moira Penza. Edmondson and Ames also notably landed the podcast exclusive with chef-turned-fugitive Sarma MeIngailis: an interview that detailed her fall from grace with the nuance that Bad Vegan may have left on the cutting-room floor.

Available now, the first episode in A Little Bit Culty's fifth season features Westworldactor Evan Rachel Wood, in a follow-up to the Amy Berg documentary Phoenix Rising(HBO), chronicling Wood's journey as a survivor of domestic violence and the numerous sinister allegations against rocker Marilyn Manson. Also on-deck for the season's first month: Spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, narcissism expert and YouTube sensation Dr. Ramani Durvasula, and Faith Jones – whose memoir Sex Cult Nun details her coming of age and escape from The Children of God, one of the most notorious cults of all time. New deep dive interviews will be released on Mondays, with additional Weekly Cultiverse recaps on Thursdays featuring Sarah and Nippy weighing in on the latest in cult news.

For Season 5, the podcast will also cover the return of HBO's The Vow and give listeners a chance to join them on Patreon for watch parties, bonus episodes including conversations with film-maker and fellow former NXIVM member Mark Vicente, and other exclusive content for fans of the docuseries. 

"We really admire the way Sarah and Nippy have grown this show through intimate, insightful and empathetic conversations," says Ian Wheeler, Founder of Talkhouse Creative Studio and Co-Founder of Partisan Records. "We're excited to help them continue to find new audiences as they work to bring powerful new stories to light."
