The society's goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power. “Brazil and Mexico are two of Spotify’s fastest-growing markets in terms of podcasting,” Cutler says. The Illuminati (1776-1785) was an Enlightenment -era secret society founded on in Bavaria, today part of Germany. As a way to tap into that universal intrigue, the series is being launched simultaneously in the U.S., Brazil, and Mexico-a first in the podcast space. Skull and Bones founder William Huntington Russell was inspired by an occult society.
While the societies may be secret, Parcast is letting the cat out of the bag. The Order of Skull and Bones is a secret society founded at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut in 1832. “Secret societies are intriguing across cultures and aren’t specific to one region in the world-they exist everywhere and are unknown, mysterious entities that are universally intriguing,” says Max Cutler, founder and managing director of Parcast, a Spotify company.
The show explores each society-filled with conspiracies ranging from shadow figures to unknown rituals-in two episodes that expose the people and context responsible for the organization’s founding and analyze the psychology behind their beliefs. The series will bring listeners on a journey through hidden passageways into the mysterious realm of assassin sects, high society clubs, and powerful political cabals.
