163: NXIVM Part 1 - The Beginning

Hey Spooksters! In today's episode are kicking off another 2 Parter for you! This time we are bringing you the sex cult, NXIVM. We'll start with some background to lay the foundation for you. We'll go over co-founder Keith Rainere's early life & how he got to the position of a cult leader, the other co-founder Nancy Salzman, and how they came together. After this, we'll also talk about the creation of NXIVM, noteworthy members (spoilers there's tons of celebrities), and begin to walk through the practices and ideations they had.

Today's promo is from Ghost Town.
