The conclusion of the Jim Jones story follows his unraveling as defections, scandals, and mounting scrutiny push the cult leader to flee the U.S. and establish the isolated Jonestown settlement—where his paranoia, drug-fueled delusions, and absolute control escalate to catastrophic levels.

Vanessa Richardson guides listeners through the harrowing final days of Jonestown, while Dr. Tristin Engels explores the psychology behind Jones’s descent into lethal fanaticism and the chilling mechanisms that allowed a community’s trust to become a weapon of mass destruction.
