Episode Description

In season 2 of COLD, one of our bonus episodes touched on a cult called The Zion Society. Now, there's a new podcast available that goes deeper on the story, with survivors of the cult.

COLD host Dave Cawley asked Aaron Mason, host of Gardens of Evil from the Gamut Podcast Network, to share the first episode of this new show with us. Here's how Aaron describes episode 1:

A young couple moves into the Northwood sub-division. The yards are impeccably landscaped, and a group of neighbors soon become like family. But not everything is as it seems… Years later, Erin, a 23-year-old woman walks into the county attorney’s office and makes an astonishing confession: She’s part of a cult and would like to report abuse.
