107. Jim Jones

Hey People,

In this episode, we take a closer look at the story of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple — a movement that started with hope and ended in one of the most shocking tragedies of the 20th century.

We explore how a charismatic preacher built a loyal following with promises of equality and community, and how things took a dark turn in the remote settlement of Jonestown, Guyana. It’s a story of belief, control, and the dangers of unchecked power. As always, we would love to hear your thoughts on the episode.

Stay safe
