Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
Im head of programming Connor Boyle were rejoining our live event for this episode with John Ronson, the journalist, author and filmmaker whose work exploring conspiracies and the culture wars has made him a go to figure for the rational take on fringe ideas.
His latest project is things fell apart, the popular podcast and BBC radio four series, which takes his interest in fringe narratives to ever stranger places.
This is a conversation in two parts, and if you havent heard part one, do just jump back an episode and get up to speed.
Joining Ronsson live on stage at Londons Union Chapel to discuss his work was Jenny Kleeman, the documentary filmmaker, journalist and author of books such as her latest Price of Life.
Let's rejoin the conversation now with Jenny and John talking about how he approaches storytelling.
You always come at things with a kind of desire to understand.
You're not judgmental as your kind of starting point.
And I just notice I'm always smiling when I'm telling these kind of stories because there is something, you know, really enjoyable about, you know, uncovering just, you know, our shared human absurdities.
Like, I don't want this to be kind of hierarchical.
I'm saying, those people are terrible stories.
