400 episodes. Wow. We decided for this one to talk about something that has captured our interests since before Spirits was even the thing – the Oneida Community. We talk about the Second Great Awakening, the Burned Over District, and the result: A well-known silver company.
Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of cults, explicit sex discussions, eugenics, sexual assault, rape, religious persecution, abuse, pregnancy, childbirth, child death, manipulation, and indoctrination.
