About this episode

Can you believe that there are still surviving members that are alive? The Jonestown Massacre felt so long ago but they're still around! This case launched me into my love and interest of dark history which is why I wanted to cover it even though we've heard the story a dozen times. BUT maybe you'll learn something new, especially about the sick and twisted Jim Jones.


Sorry if the audio is weird and inconsistent, this was the LONGEST episode I've recorded and editing was a doozy. Goes to show you can be doing this for a while and still have lots to learn!
