        • Jimmy Akins Mysterious World: Waco — Federal agents stormed a religious commune in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993 after a months-long siege, leaving dozens dead. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli are back to consider the allegations of government misconduct, coverup, and conspiracy; examine the evidence; and seek the truth of what happened.
        • Faith, Reason, and the Waco Siege — Trent just finished binge watching the new Netflix mini-series Waco and so he’s sitting down with Jimmy Akin to learn more about the religious beliefs of the Branch Davidians as well as to take a closer look at what really happened during the disastrous Waco siege.
