So was there anything that made this particular book memorable for you when recording it? Michele Cobb: Well, that’s a happy coincidence right there. So I felt that I was kind of doing passive research for it as a result. I didn’t do any specific research particularly, but coincidentally, I record a lot of articles for Autumn, which puts longform journalism on audio,and I had happened to be recording different articles at that time about different cults, including NXIVM. I think she created a very plausible cult. Julia Whelan: I thought the cult was actually really well built. And I noticed that some of the details of the fictional cult matched the group NXIVM that was in the news a lot few years ago. Michele Cobb: Did you do any special preparation, like reading up on cults? Because that was a big plot point here.
