Dear Franklin Jones
Stitcher & Jonathan HirschProducer Jonathan Hirsch had a childhood much like yours -- except his family had a secret. They were followers of a controversial spiritual leader named Franklin Jones. To Jonathan’s parents, Franklin Jones was a god, but to people outside the group, Jones was a cult leader. Now, Jonathan is going back, trying to find out what happened -- and whether the group really did become a cult.

Audible5LollyUnited States4 months ago - Valuable Ambiguity
Thanks for your story. I’m realizing that there never can be a true understanding of why a person joins a cult or why they stay in. This ambiguity, I feel, is important for me to be aware of.

Well done but did not delve into any details and assumed the listener had adequate knowledge and background of who Franklin Jones was and the associated controversies.
Apple Podcasts3mxm313United States3 years ago - Interesting but ….
I would have liked to have known about the background of his parents, what brought them together, what made them susceptible to following a cult leader and putting up with some pretty weird stuff. What about them made them “drink the kool-aid” and for so long.
