Bon jou Paturders!

This week we are off to Guyana!
Kate kicks us off with the murder of Walter Rodney and Dr. Patricia Rodneys long and incredible fight for justice.

Georgie then covers the story of the People's Temple and the Jonestown Massacre, diving deep into the social context that allowed for such a horrific event to unfold.

Join us this week for government schemes, mass murder and ya know, wine... coz humans are the worst.

Thank you!
