This week's guest (and aspiring cult leader) is podcaster, blogger, and whistle-blower Clare McIvor. Clare was brought up within the City Builders church, which has been accused of cult-like practices (*wink wink) and was the subject of media investigation for trying to build power within the Liberal Party. Together we build a scarily accurate Christian cult.
If you're new here, welcome to Let's Build a Cult! Each week, comedian and 'cultsultant' Phoenix Trinidad helps a guest create their version of the most successful hypothetical cult of all time.
