À propos de cet audio

Please note: This title contains graphic audio which some listeners might find upsetting.

Forty years ago, on Nov. 18, 1978, 914 members of a 'utopian' society deep in the Guyana jungle, known as Jonestown, drank a lethal elixir of Flavor-Aid and cyanide. Tim Carter was in the inner circle of its charismatic leader, Jim Jones. He escaped into the jungle. This is his story.

This story seem to be based on two peoples inside of what happened and They repeatedly repeated themselves . and Miss out on really diving into the whole story.

The first 5-ish minutes of every episode is just repeating information you heard at the beginning of the last episode, 20 minutes earlier. I absolutely think this would be useful if it was released sporadically and you need the reminder after waiting for the next episode to release, but when you’re listening to the episodes back to back it’s very excessive and repetitive.
I also find the use of ambient background noise to be extremely strange. I think the intention is to create an unsettling ambiance, but it’s just a really strange listening experience for an audiobook/podcast.
If you really want to learn about Jonestown, there are enough documentaries and YouTube videos that are far better quality.

Repetitive and Strange Layout

Loved it easy to listen not too long and so very devastating and heart breaking... Gonna be 41 years ago later this week...

Very well made

I’d never heard about Jonestown until this series. It’s hard to limit listening to just 1 or 2 episodes at a time. You’ll want to finish it all in 1 day (I know I did).
The power of relentless group influencing + a selfish “religious leader” with evil intentions proves to be a horrific combination.
Mostly narrated by 2 individuals (a woman whose devoted her career to the Jonestown Massacre after her 2 sisters and nephew died there, and a man who was one of the few people who escaped the island) adds different viewpoints to this riveting yet heartbreaking podcast.

Scary yet Intriguing

A well-done introduction to this terrible tragedy. I appreciated the first hand point of view cordings source but by the time I was finished I felt like there was a lot more information I needed to know.

A good start

the only thing I found annoying about this or negative in any way, was the fact that it was broken into far too many chapters. It would have been nice to have a good straight flow going. However it was extremely educational and also grabbed you right by the gut. heartbreaking absolutely heartbreaking what happened.

Great listen

An emotional recollection of Jonestown with a morbidly fascinating collection of info from the archives

Emotional and intense

Jonestown was a horrifying event. It's easy to lose track of the fact that it happened to real people--as with many events of this magnitude. This series did a good job of emphasizing the humanity of those who lived and died there, and the forces that contributed to the event.

Heartbreaking and Human

I can't imagine how hard it was to have to recount what happened in Jonestown, but I thank Tim for sharing it with us.
