Jon Ronson – Things Fell Apart

Things Fell Apart is the live version of Jon’s hit BBC Radio 4 podcast. Jon will tell stories from the show, and some brand new stories too. There’ll be audio and rare video clips, surprise guests and a Q&A. These past few years Jon has watched friends get caught up in the online culture wars to such a degree they’ve lost everything – their careers, their wellbeing. And by culture wars, Jon means the battle for dominance between conflicting values. Jon wanted to understand how things fell apart, and so he went back in time to find the origin stories, the pebbles thrown in the pond creating the ripples. He had no idea how unexpected, how spellbinding, those tales would be.
