1 - Putting the Cult in Cutlery

S05E01: The Oneida Cult.

Ever wonder if your silverware was once in a questionable cult? No? Just us?

 

The Oneida Cult had some truly ahead-of-its-time views on sex and sexuality. And, if their community hadn’t also included a dark shadow of appalling abuse towards its teenage members, this could have been a very different podcast episode. (Alas, no.) But, it may surprise you to know that, even today, this strange cult’s legacy continues to live on in a very unexpected place: our cutlery drawers.
