The Jonestown Flood, Mvmt 1 (Love in the Time of Prophets) - a podcast by Kevin Allen

This is the first in a 4-part series of the events leading up to Jonestown's end in 1978.

An ambitious and principled young lawyer meets a smart and charming college student as the '60s gave way to the '70s. As they'll learn, the rushing waters of revolution can cleanse the world. Or choke it. 

I used "Marked for Death" by Timothy Oliver Stoen and "Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People" by Tim Reiterman in pretty much equal measure, along with a variety of articles from Alternative Considerations of Jonestown & Peoples Temple (http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/)

Telegraph Avenue music was "Psychadelic Rock" by niodjo. Intro and outro drumbeats was "Drums Suspense" by Johnnymusic. Ocean Beach / creation music was "Background" by MaksimSafronov. Jesse Spillane rounds us out with "Meerkats in Love."
