LISTEN NOW to Heaven’s Gate
Why are cults always so into mass suicide? The Heaven’s Gate Podcast tells the tale of one such group of “believers” who left thirty-nine people dead by way of an apple sauce suicide. A retrospect produced 20 years after the tragedy, the Heaven’s Gate creators gather those who were in the community to explain. They also speak with the families of members who did not survive and discuss how this happy commune came to believe aliens would be sent down by Jesus.
The show is hosted by Glynn Washington and produced by Pineapple Media.
