Amanda is the creator and host of two award-winning podcasts:
Sounds Like A Cult and Magical Overthinkers.
Putting the “cult” in culture…
Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about the Royal Family? What about Disney Adults? Or spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? Sounds Like A Cult is a podcast that analyzes a different fanatical group every week to try and answer the big question: This sounds like a cult, but is it really? Inspired by Amanda’s book Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, Sounds Like A Cult premiered in June of 2021 and was named a best podcast of 2022 by Vulture, Esquire, Wired, and others. Regularly charting among Spotify’s Top 50 Comedy Podcasts, the show won the 2023 iHeart Radio “Best Emerging Podcast” Award, as well as three 2025 Signal Awards, and has earned praised by The New York Times among other publications.
Sounds Like A Cult is an independent podcast airing every Tuesday on all major platforms.
Are you an overthinker?
Prone to thought spirals? Do you wonder why, despite living in the “Information Age,” life only seems to be making less sense? From celebrity worship to nostalgia, there seems to be a lot of “delulu” out there these days. Enter: This relatable, thought-provoking podcast. Every other week, host Amanda interviews a brilliant expert guest about a buzzy, anxiety-provoking topic. Think: narcissism, burnout, and imposter syndrome. Complete with heart-on-their-sleeve personal stories, brain-tingling conversations, and actionable takeaways for how chronically online listeners can get out of their own heads, this Signal Award-winning podcast is here to make some sense of the senseless.
Based on Amanda’s New York Times-bestselling book, Magical Overthinkers launched May 2024, landing on both Spotify and Apple’s charts of the Top 50 podcasts in the USA within its first month. Magical Overthinkers is made in partnership with Studio 71 and airs every other Wednesday on all major platforms.
