Jon Ronson on psychopaths, shame & spending time with Alex Jones

🎧 PODCAST GUESTS: Jon Ronson, Dan Ilic, Lewis Hobba

Jon Ronson would hate this thumbnail, but hey, it drives engagement.

G’day Fearmongers,

The privilege of being a white guy with a podcast is that you get to talk to your heroes, record those conversations and then share them with your friends, acquaintances, and 10,000 of you — our fellow fearmongers.

In this episode Jon Ronson joins us to talk about psychopathy, the evolution of public shaming in the late social media era, we try to tease out of him what his experience was like on #QandA, we touch on Trump, and then Jon tells us this incredible anecdote about sneaking into Bohemian Grove with Alex Jones. It’s wild.
