Bonus Episode 28 - Another View of Jonestown pt. 2, the SwedenBorg Collective’s Mendocino Blues, feat. Marcus

(Part 2 of 3)

Today I'm joined by Marcus from 'the Return of the Repressed' podcast to discuss Jim Jones and Jonestown. Marcus walks us through Jim Jones's early career, his psychiatric history, Guyanese history and anthropology, the Ukiah era, welfare scams, drug rehabs, several more interesting topics, and my personal favorite: the very curious crossover between Jones's ministry, the Mendocino State Hospital, Emmanuel Swedenborg, and Herb Mullin. Oh, and the first school shooter in the US.

Bonus Episode 27 - Another View of Jonestown pt. 1, or, When Group Therapy Goes Wrong, feat. Marcus

(Part 1 of 3)

Today I'm joined by Marcus from 'the Return of the Repressed' podcast to discuss Jim Jones and Jonestown. We discuss the 'known unknowns' with regards to Jonestown. Marcus walks us through the many early reactions to Jonestown which seem to nail it on the head, including those near to Representative Leo Ryan. We talk about the 'mystery tape'. Then, we lay the groundwork for understanding Jonestown by delving into the religious background of the Jones church including the Branhamites, the Latter Rain movement, and the curious crossover between these religious groups and cults across the world, especially in Africa.
