Episode 121: Heaven's Gate

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink Secret Sangria and talk about a famous cult and why the South doesn't have a corner on the cult market. News reports in the late 90s focused on their matching sneakers, androgynous hair, and their conviction that a UFO was following Hale-Bopp comet to pick them up and take them to live with Jesus somewhere far out in the galaxy. But behind the Heaven's Gate cult were a pair of Texans - a nurse and a choir teacher.
