*Ø* Blogmanac | Jonestown audio documentary online
Have you ever heard Father Cares, the NPR documentary about Jim Jones and Jonestown?
It's one of the most gripping docos I've ever heard, mainly because so much of it isn't just dry academics and journalists discussing the Jonestown tragedy of November 18, 1978, but because of the extensive tape recordings of the evil maniac, Jim Jones himself. Like Nixon, he seemed to need to record everything.
It's unsettling, troubling, compelling. The audio fleshes out one of the weirdest events of last century, and a man whose charismatic wickedness is really quite unbelievable.
