Jonestown

Episode
Written By Mister Bunker

Research begins at 26:18

It goes without saying that Jonestown is one of the most horrific and tragic events in US History. It’s memory lingers on even to this day. An event so unfathomable; so needlessly heinous that today we are still left asking - how? How did the self-made preacher fanatic, Jim Jones, convince almost 1,000 people to end their lives on November 18th, 1978? How did he amass such a following? Well, today, bunk funkers, we won’t be drinking any kool-aid - oh no- but we will be serving up a whole enchilada on the entire timeline of Jim Jones and Jonestown. And for a little extra spice we’ll cover some of the most common conspiracies associated with this horrific tragedy.

Andy and Art are captured once again by the titular Mr. Bunker - how did he fool them this time? 

In the second segment, Andy and Art give you, the listeners, an uninterrupted presentation of their research into Jonestown.

Finally, Andy and Art discuss Jonestown at length. They also talk about Burn After Reading, Andy’s lack of human empathy, SoThicc the HugeHog, and so much more!
