Decoding Cults: The People's Temple
11/16/22 • 38 min
1 Listener
The People's Temple started as a religious community in the 1950s and evolved into an apocalyptic cult in the 1970s. This episode will cover the history of Jim Jones and The People's Temple cult, from its humble beginnings to its tragic end.
We'll be looking at how Jones was able to convince so many people that he was God, and how he convinced them to commit mass suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid in 1978.

Murder Monday: Murder on Cove Mountain
This week on Murder Monday, we travel to the Appalachian Trail to dive into the shocking and tragic murder of hikers Geoffrey Hood and Molly LaRue at the hands of a 'Mountain Man.' Hikers usually used a “Trail Name”, a handle like to identify themselves. Geoffrey used Clevis, and Molly went by Nalgene. The last place they stayed was inside the Thelma Marks Shelter.
