Jon Ronson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Ronson) is a journalist and broadcaster, probably best known for his book "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and the ensuing UK TV series "The Crazy Rulers of the World".

Though those are both linked to conspiracy theory, his radio show "Jon Ronson On..." is just about human life in general. Each show is about half an hour and they explore such subjects as Positive Thinking, How to be Invisible, Friendship, The Wrong Kind of Madness and Doing Anything for Love.

They're perfectly crafted little audio gifts, incredibly touching and thought provoking and well worth checking out.

Great find Dopefend!

Cheers.:)

I have just listened to the episode about how we view mental illness in society. It was very interesting but I was quite shocked when Mr. Ronson implied that people who think 911 was an inside job are delusional.

Doesn’t everyone think that 911 was an inside job? ;)

Maybe I have been listening to way too many independent podcasts and should start watching TV again!
