Our Editor's Take
Cult Liter with Spencer Henry is a hip, fun, yet spooky true crime podcast. Host Spencer Henry had an unlikely path to becoming a true crime expert. He worked on social media for beauty company L'Oréal. On the side, he became a social media personality in his own right. He started talking about true crime via his Instagram account. His fans liked what he said, so Spencer started this as a formal podcast in 2018.
Spencer brings a sense of humor and a likeable personality to Cult Liter with Spencer Henry. There's the play on words in the title. He is why the podcast has a devoted following. He calls the fans "Cult Babes." He also calls shorter show episodes Little Liters.
As per the title, Cult Liter with Spencer Henry does talk a lot about cults. The show does episodes about the Minnesota Whipping Cult where two "moidahs," as Spencer calls murders, occurred. Betty Hardaker was a mom in the 1940s involved with a cultish church. She killed her young daughter over it. Spencer also explains modern groups with cult-like tendencies, like QAnon.
Cult Liter with Spencer Henry also talks about Satan. Cases where people felt the devil made them kill get discussed. The show has episodes about both the Satanic panic in the 1980s as well as Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan. The show also talks about true crimes involving nuns, priests, and religious leaders. In some cases, they are the victims. In others, they are the killers.
Spencer is a funny host and he can find the humor even with pretty scary topics. Yet he is still respectful to the victims he discusses. Cult Liter with Spencer Henry has new episodes several times a week.
