In 'So You've Been Publicly Shamed', Jon Ronson delves into the phenomenon of online shaming and its historical antecedents. The book features interviews with individuals who have been subjected to intense public shaming, including Jonah Lehrer, a journalist who plagiarized quotes, and a woman who was shamed for a tweet at an airport. Ronson also speaks with practitioners of modern public humiliation and examines the immediate and long-term consequences of such shaming. The book raises questions about righteousness, reputation, and conformity in the context of social media and its impact on individuals and society[2][3][4].
Trump is upending the world once again. We go on a whistlestop tour of tariffs, woke and the far-right in our latest show.
First up, trade policy expert Dmitry Grozoubinski joins Andrew Harrison to explain why chaos is inevitable, following the new tariffs. Then into the main bulk of the episode, dinner time’s over for the tofu-eating wokerati… apparently. Some say the dawn of the post-woke world is upon us, but is it really? And what does that even mean? Also, what’s the state of hate in the UK? Luckily, Hope Not Hate has compiled a 140-page report detailing precisely that – and their Director of Research, Joe Mulhall, joins us in the studio to get into what’s in it. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, after more than two centuries WH Smith leaves the high street. Is anyone surprised? But is the high street really dying or is it just changing?
