Listening list of fabulous radio progs
Trust thought for today - Not really a trust thought, as I've got a boring cold, so took to my bed for a few hours today and caught up with the latest episodes of some of my faves from the fabulous BBC Sounds. Totally worth the license fee as they say.
Jon Ronson's "Things Fell Apart" - about the origin stories of the culture wars. Just so shocking and eye-popping to see the small things that led us to, for example the Hillary Clinton Pizzagate saga and the rise of QAnon.
