Popular Reviews of Heaven's Gate

The subject matter was interesting - about a cult that caused many to lose their lives, and those effected by it. It just felt so inconsistent; a total slog in some places, sad and interesting in others. Felt like it could have been cut in half and that would have produced a better listen.

This is about the people involved in this heartbreaking story and the people who were affected by it. Excellent storytelling. Highly recommended.

The host handled the topic with a perspective I haven't seen before. It's easy to label the followers of cults as insane or deluded, that they're an other. The stories, interviews and recordings featured in the podcast reveal how human they were, and tells their story with compassion and empathy.

Amazing podcast! If you like cults, ovnis, 70's vibes, mind control and craziness in general, this podcast is for you. But be aware: it's sad.

A compassionate, scary and sad look at one of the most famous cults of all time. Very well told.

More of a personal exploration of former members' time at Heaven's Gate than a retelling of the cult's story itself.

Really interesting look into the history of the Heaven's Gate cult. Interesting insight into the nature of cults in general, too.

A whole new perspective.
