Jonestown, Guyana. November 18, 1978. In this chilling and thought-provoking episode of The Passage, the Ferryman, with his voice resonating with the depth and gravitas of Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, The Walking Dead), confronts a figure whose name is synonymous with betrayal and tragedy. Jim Jones, voiced by Scott Poythress, the charismatic and manipulative leader responsible for the Jonestown Massacre, steps aboard, his silver tongue ready to weave a narrative of justification and delusion.

As his car traverses the murky waters of morality and madness, Jim Jones attempts to cast himself in the light of a misunderstood revolutionary, a man who sought to offer sanctuary to those disillusioned with the American dream. He speaks of his vision for a utopia, a haven for those who lost faith in society and yearned to belong to a community that promised equality, love, and salvation.

Yet, the Ferryman listens with a knowing silence, for the air is heavy with the unspoken truths of the horrors that unfolded under Jones's command. The specters of Jonestown loom in the shadows, a grim reminder of the lives lost to the poisoned chalice of blind devotion and the dangerous allure of absolute power.

Jim Jones, the master manipulator, tries to paint his actions as noble, his intentions pure, but the echoes of the past speak louder than his serpentine words. Hell awaits him, a reckoning for the souls he led astray, for the innocence he shattered, and for the ultimate betrayal of the trust bestowed upon him by those who sought hope and found despair.

In this episode of The Passage, listeners are invited to confront the darkest corners of human nature, where the search for belonging and meaning can lead to the abyss of fanaticism and destruction. Written by E.M. Westover.

THE PASSAGE takes you on a ride into the land of the dead, traveling with the Ferryman as he collects America’s most illustrious spirits and delivers them to the hereafter. The price of their passage? Their story. 

Built on a foundation of historical relevance and structured by a kind of dream logic, THE PASSAGE is an immersive audio experience that invites listeners to explore the collective American psyche from the perspective of its most legendary figures. Here we are guided by the Ferryman of souls– with a voice that sounds like it’s been siphoned from a lake of bourbon and fire, and resonating with the depth and gravitas of Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, The Walking Dead). The Passage is penned by a brilliant and diverse pool of writers and performed by an unforgettable cast, each episode of this anthology promises a new tale of American odyssey, from madness and monsters to conviction and courage. Each passenger tells their own extraordinary and often terrifying tale to influence the Ferryman’s final destination— be it a comfortable place of eternal light, a haunted purgatory of regret, or one of the nine rings of hell.  

These are the tales that shaped the soul of the nation.

Created by filmmaker Dan Bush (Tomorrow’s Monsters, The Mantawauk Caves) and writer, Nicholas Tecosky, and a co-production of iHeartPodcasts, and Psychopia Pictures, The Passage is a riveting, immersive anthology featuring performances by Wes Studi (The Last of the Mohicans / Geronimo: An American Legend), Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks / Silicon Valey), Tristan Mack Wilds (The Wire / Red Tails), and Scott Haze (Child of God, Jurassic World Dominion). 

Headphones are recommended.
