About this listen

We are your podcast hosts Jason and Shari taking you on a deep dive into this mysterious island cult that build a religion around cannibalism and worshiping the living dead. I’m Jason, a history adjunct professor and love all this macabre. And I’m Shari, an ex-catholic who is fascinated by the history of religion, and a librarian.

Join us as we take a look into how this group began and where it’s headed next.
