It's a special episode from our Patreon files - as Nick has been unwell at the time of normal recording, we have decided to release a Patreon episode for free to keep you full of joy.

This episode was originally recorded in Sept 2020, and is possibly the most famous mass poisoning case in living memory: the massacre of the Peoples Temple followers at Jonestown. 

Sinead tells the tale of Jim Jones' infamous church / cult, and how a once happy plan to bring social equality to the world ended with nearly 1,000 people lying dead in the Guyanese jungle. This gets pretty heavy, chaps, with content that some people may find disturbing.
