Have you ever had someone tell you “don’t drink the kool-aid?” Did you know that phrase was coined following the tragedy of Jonestown that took place in 1978? After 918 devoted followers of The Peoples Temple died from drinking cyanide laced KooL-aid, the phrase means for one to not be taken in by anything like an idea or person to the point where your whole life is dedicated to it, which is unfortunately what happened on that fateful day in Guyana. On the pilot episode of season one of The Very Eerie, Extremely Wicked, & Quite Spooky Podcast, Raven and Rhe will explore the perplexing rise and tragic fall of Jim Jones’ The People’s Temple, which prior to the attacks on 9/11 was the greatest single loss of American citizens.
