Jon Ronson forged a second series of his Things fell apart This time the podcast focused on conspiracy theories in the Covid-19 era.
The second series of the hit BBC Sounds show launches next week with eight stories focusing on “new battle lines in the culture wars that have emerged during lockdown”.
“From Covid conspiracies and Antifa hysteria to race and gender identity politics, free speech and out-of-control anti-lockdown protests,” the logline continues.
Ronson said: “The last few months have shown that we live in post-truth times, where all kinds of lies are allowed to flourish for all kinds of reasons, and many people across the political spectrum are guilty of it.” Ultimately, the podcast was about: that we must cling to the truth like driftwood or we will drown.”
Things fell apart Season 1 won a Broadcasting Press Guild Award and featured stories like Tammy Faye and the first case of online public shaming.
Ronson is a journalist and filmmaker who has written The men stare at goats, which was adapted into the film starring George Clooney. Other current projects include: The debutante about a high society woman who joined a neo-Nazi movement while also appearing on Louis Theroux’s podcast.
