About this listen

 How does a revolutionary self-help group, promising to unlock human potential, devolve into a secret society where women are branded and treated as slaves? This is the story of NXIVM, a supposed executive coaching program that hid a dark and destructive cult at its core, led by a charismatic and manipulative guru named Keith Raniere.


Welcome to "Unraveling a Cult," a serialized deep dive into one of the most shocking criminal enterprises of the 21st century. Over this series, we'll trace the entire arc of NXIVM, from its slick recruitment seminars that drew in Hollywood actors and successful entrepreneurs, to the inner workings of its secret master-slave sorority, and finally, to its dramatic collapse under the weight of an FBI investigation. Using court files and harrowing accounts from former members, we will unpack the psychology of coercive control. Where is the line between devotion and delusion?
