Hannah Wingerter and Fleming Blishen
Imagine you’re in a dark basement standing in a foot of mud. The lights are out but you can make out your family and some other people wading through the molasses like muck. Suddenly you see a way out. “Look a set of stairs,” you yell out. As you slowly pull yourself towards the stairs you expect people to follow you, but they don’t. Welcome to Cult-Ivation, a journey through the mind of former cult member Hannah. Hannah’s queer identity forced her to see those stairs and get out of that basement. But should she have stayed in the muck with her family and community? The problem is once she saw those stairs, she couldn’t unsee them. And once you hear this podcast you won’t be able to unhear it.
