About this episode
Did you ever wonder where the phrase 'drink the Kool-Aid' came from? In this second episode about the Peoples Temple, we rejoin them in Jonestown, Guyana. How planned was the final 'white night'? Did anyone survive? And what happened to the notorious Jim Jones? Don is joined once again by author and scholar Annie Dawid, who has spent over two decades researching Peoples Temple.
