Damn good
Don’t listen to the other reviewer. This is a damn good series on Jonestown. Not super in depth but great as an intro or as another source.
Also for audible members it’s free, so ignore the comment about wasting your credit in other review.

Heartbreaking and Human
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.

Excellent Insight
The subject matter is tragic, but it was definitely fascinating to hear the awful unfolding of the Jonestown events from someone in the inner circle. This series helped to humanise and break down how this cult of personality could have evolved into something so dark, especially in light of the very real, sincere idealism the people involved held. Fascinating and eye opening insight into an event that's proven so difficult for us to wrap our collective heads around. Good stuff.

Scary yet Intriguing
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.

A good start
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.

Remembering that day
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.

Great listen
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.
