Uncovering stories of life inside a cult

DM Podcasts has released Inside The Tribe, a nine-part true crime original podcast that goes inside the world of a secretive and bizarre cult called the Twelve Tribes.

Hosted by award winning journalist and author Tim Elliott and co-written by Camille Bianchi of award-winning podcast, The Nurse, Inside The Tribe follows former Twelve Tribes members, Mark and Rose through their 15-year ordeal and how they finally staged their escape.

The Twelve Tribes is a fundamentalist Judeo-Christian sect with communities worldwide, including in Australia.

Tim unpacks who the Twelve Tribes are and how a charismatic leader managed to build a global empire, which has run virtually unchecked for 50 years.

The first two episodes of Inside The Tribe are out now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Episodes will be released weekly or you can subscribe via Apple Podcasts or Spotify Premium to binge the whole series.
