The Following

This episode describes what cults are, how membership is gained and maintained through the psychological tactics of the leader, as well as diving into one well known cult, The Jonestown Cult, led by Jim Jones. Link to the youtube video I took the audio clip from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0B1sMfxWYw 

The episode focuses specifically on Jim Jones’s leadership and how leadership is used within cults.

This episode features Dr. Liz Hunt where she shares her knowledge of leadership, qualities that may make individuals vulnerable to joining a cult, and if cults have the potential to still be a problem today! This episode continues with the focus on Jim Jones and how he was able to be an effective leader, but not necessarily an ethical or servant leader.
