WTW56: Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

At long last, we're releasing our series on how Jon Ronson both sidesed the truth into oblivion in the 2nd season of Things Fell Apart. The show, just like its host, is engaging and entertaining. The reporting, however, is not good. It is incredibly favorable to the anti-woke brigade, and as a result, is . And it's also just lazy and false in many ways. First up: Dr. Judy Mikovits. Ronson paints her as a one-time serious scientist who got a raw deal and therefore turned conspiratorial and eventually became the subject of the anti-vax propaganda Plandemic. Or... what if she was actually always full of shit? If you enjoy our work, please consider leaving a 5-star review! You can always email questions, comments, and leads to lydia@seriouspod.com.

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'
