Jonesin' for Jonestown- Ep. 1: The "Happy" Beginnings

This month, TSFU Presents: Jonesin' for Jonestown! Ash and Dawn Brodey of the hilarious and insanely informative podcast HILF: History I'd Like to Fuck, take a hard look at how Jones' "church" began and the events that led up to its tragic end.

In their first episode, Ash tells Dawn about the beginnings of The People's Temple (hint: it was originally called something much sillier), and how it looked really groovy and progressive at first! Ash talks about how she probably would have joined, and tries very hard, but unsuccessfully, to get Dawn to join the TSFU cult.
