About this listen

 Host Ava Grey delivers a haunting examination of the journalists, defectors, and Congressman Leo Ryan who risked everything to expose the dangers of Jim Jones's Peoples Temple—and the devastating institutional failures that allowed their desperate warnings to go unheeded before the 1978 massacre. This gripping episode explores how Deborah Layton's chilling affidavit, Lester Kinsolving's silenced investigation, and other courageous voices tried to prevent tragedy while facing coordinated intimidation campaigns and systemic indifference. A powerful reminder of what happens when society fails to listen to those brave enough to speak truth against dangerous power.
