Jon Ronson

<p>We’re back for Season 4 with the award-winning author, writer, and documentary maker, Jon Ronson. Jon is the author of many best-selling books, including So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, Them: Adventures with Extremists, The Men who Stare at Goats which was adapted to become a movie starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor, and The Psychopath Test which is the first book of Jon’s that I read, and was hooked ever since.</p><p>He’s an acclaimed screenwriter, most recently co-writing the 2017 Netflix film, Okja, with Bong Joon-Ho, the South Korean director of Parasite, last year’s Best Picture winner at the Oscars.&nbsp;</p><p>And if you’re not already familiar with Jon’s work, I’d suggest checking out one of his recent podcast series, which have been huge hits around the world - The Butterfly Effect and The Last Days of August both look at the effects of the porn industry. Both are fascinating, disturbing and addictive to listen to.</p><p>Jon’s now based in the US, so we spoke online as per usual these days, and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.</p><p><br></p><p>Destination Recap:</p><ul><li>Marlborough College, Wiltshire, England</li><li>Avebury, Wiltshire, England</li><li>Cardiff, Wales</li><li>South Africa</li><li>QE2 ship</li><li>Queen Mary ship</li><li>Rhodes, Greece</li><li>Manhattan, New York, USA</li><li>Union Hall, Brooklyn, New York, USA</li><li>The Bell house, Brooklyn, New York, USA</li><li><a href="https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/shop/oyster-bar-restaurant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant</a>, New York, USA</li><li><a href="https://www.barneygreengrass.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barney Greengrass</a>, New York, USA</li><li><a href="https://innsofaurora.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inns of Aurora</a>, Fingerlakes, New York, USA</li><li>Hudson, New York, USA</li><li><a href="https://www.fortevillageresort.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forte Village Resort</a>, Sardinia, I
