Episode 5: Ashes of a Dead Heart
Hello, fellow nerds! On this week's podcast episode, we’re discussing chapters 8-9 of “From Blood & Ash” by @jennifer_l_armentrout ! Listen in as we discuss the herd mentality and cult persuasion of Jonestown and how it compares to Solis, as well as which illnesses, some of which still exist today, mimic what some thought was vampirism.
Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "Murders, Battles & Funerals, Oh My!". It can be found here!
Fave Quote from the Episode: “On a boat, in the snow…it’s like green eggs and ham?”—Whitney
