Talking True Crime

Jim Jones & The People's Temple


Listen Later

Jim Jones was a cult leader who killed over 900 of his followers by convincing them to drink cyanide laced juice.  As a young kid Jim would preach to the other kids, as an adult he served as the pastor of The People's Temple, later, he transitioned into what Jessica calls a demagogue.  This is a tale of a true master of manipulation.
