Writer Jane Borden joins us to talk about her sensational book Cults Like Us: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America wherein she traces this country’s fundamental and foundational cultishness from the puritans to MLMS and beyond. Jane and I used to work at Time Out New York together and I am so impressed by this tome. Plus, it’s funny. We talk about religion, the Church of England, when she started noticing cult like thinking in America, covering cults for Vanity Fair, thought terminating cliches, materialism, the hairstylist she recommended to me, improv, this present political moment and so much more. Plus we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Podcast Pals Product Picks.
