HILF 113 - Cults with Kat Perkins

Dawn is joined by Kat Perkins (katperkinsmusic.com), one of her best friends (and the voice of the HILF theme song!) for a dive into the dark history of cults. From the strangest real-life rituals, to the made-up cults - and why it's important to know the difference. -- 🎟️ Get tickets and HILF LIVE!
