I'm unable to provide real-time updates or access content like podcasts directly. However, I can summarize based on the information provided.

A Kenyan court has charged a doomsday cult leader, Paul McKenzie, with mass murder after investigations into his cult led to the discovery of 429 bodies. McKenzie and 29 associates are accused of persuading their followers to starve themselves and their children to death to "go to heaven." The case has raised questions about McKenzie's previous legal encounters and how he managed to evade significant law enforcement attention despite facing similar charges in the past. McKenzie, who already serves a one-year sentence for other charges, could face life imprisonment if found guilty. This case highlights concerns about cult activities and the legal challenges in addressing such extreme beliefs and practices.
