Jim Jones and David Koresh: Jonestown/Waco Summary

After spending the month dissecting the appeal and impact of Jonestown and Waco, Jenn and Joe are ready to say goodbye to cults for a bit. In this episode, we reflect on the similarities and differences between Jim Jones and David Koresh, why cults are still murder, and how we're affected by fictionalized stories both brief and serialized.
