About this listen

They always promise salvation. They always begin with the end.

From Jonestown to Heaven’s Gate to the Order of the Solar Temple, apocalyptic belief has been the cornerstone of some of the most infamous cults in modern history. In this episode of Noir Frequency, we explore why end-times prophecy is so effective at drawing people in—and how it’s used to control, isolate, and ultimately destroy.

We dive into the psychology of doomsday, the cultural chaos that gives rise to it, and the leaders who wield it like a weapon. And we ask the deeper question: what kind of world makes people want it all to end?

This isn’t just about the cults we remember. It’s about the ones still out there—and the stories we still believe.
