Our take on Things Fell Apart podcast
In Things Fell Apart, Jon Ronson dives into today's culture wars as well as the extremes of the arguments. He searches the sources of discussions, the polarizing ideas or events that lead to today's controversies and divisive disputes we witness all over social media. Essentially he looks at how a small act can have unforeseen ripple effects. Ronson covers a different topic in each episode of Things Fell Apart. For instance, he looks into the argument between pro-life and anti-abortionists and pro-abortion in the USA. He explains the core of this argument and its root. However, that is not the only topic that Jon Ronson covers. He looks into various issues the current society has witnessed and tries to deconstruct them. Producer
