About this listen

Tony Alamo was an evangelical street minister turned cult leader who ran labor camps for both adults and children in Arkansas. Among the unspeakable things he did to people other than the labor abuse was physical abuse, mental abuse, straight up brainwashing and much, much worse. This is part one of a two-part series, so stay tuned for the next episode of Unnatural Acts where the story will be finished. Big thank you to Mike’s Auto and Diesel for sponsoring the show so we can shed light on the terrible stories like this in hopes that people will be more informed and maybe be able to stay a little safer.
