Cult Liter with Spencer Henry

Spencer Henry’s Cult Liter has a remarkable 4.9 star rating from over 5,000 Apple Podcasts reviewers, which puts it in rare company. The show covers cults, crime, and televangelists with a personality-driven style that keeps nearly 600 episodes consistently engaging. Spencer does his homework. The research is detailed and the storytelling is confident, but what listeners keep coming back for is his delivery. He brings genuine enthusiasm to dark subject matter without being flippant about it. The show publishes twice a week, with main episodes typically dropping on Tuesdays. Each one runs about an hour, and Spencer often tackles multi-part stories that let him really get into the details. His NXIVM coverage sits alongside episodes on everything from small-town cult leaders to nationally known con artists. The Morbid Network partnership gives the show solid distribution, and there are video versions on YouTube if you prefer watching. Listener reviews consistently highlight two things: the quality of the research and Spencer’s ability to make you feel like a friend is telling you about something wild he just learned. That combination of rigor and personality is hard to pull off, and it is probably why the ratings are so high. If you like your cult coverage with some character and a lot of substance, this is a strong pick.
