Episode 149: RE-RELEASE Synanon Cult

This week’s episode is a RE-RELEASE because this week turned out to be very unpredictable and LOUD NOISES! This episode dives into the drug rehab turned cult. Synanon began in the late 50’s-early 60’s, and grew to be a nightmare for most that attended. From shaved heads, to attack therapy, to a fleet of 400 motorcycles and an airstrip, Synanon became very well known to California residents. But no cult starts out as a “cult”! Find out how this rehab program on the beach was later twisted into something horrific! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crime-cults-and-coffee/support
