I hadn't seen that in the listings. I'm aware of it of course but only recently listened to full details via a Casefile podcast, so this will be an interesting watch. Weirdly compelling but absolutely horrendous stuff.

 

[SayWhatYouSee]

Astounding that so many people followed his lead and they even gave it to their children to drink, while they could see the result of it on those dying. Horrible story.

This lot did a deep dive in it a couple years ago. Gripping listening. Obviously it's horrific but interesting in a macabre way. Episode 300: Jonestown Part I - Everyone in the World Is My Friend — The Last Podcast Network
