TSFU: Ep. 155- Amish Cults: Beneath the Bonnet

We hope you're thirsty for KNOWLEDGE this Thursday because we've got a new episode coming in hot, a day early! And we've got a surprise for you tomorrow too!

You might think of the Amish as quiet, quaint folks in buggies selling homemade stuff, but there's a lot more beneath the surface. Join us as Fallon tells Ash all about the secretive world of the Amish. From shocking abuses against women and children to the dark side of puppy mills - get ready for a wild rollercoaster of revelations that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about Amish life.
