Jon Ronson On... When Small Talk Goes Wrong

Series 5 Episode 2. Aired 12th January 2010 on BBC Radio 4.
From Jon's website:
"Each week in a series of interviews, short location reports, scripted monologues, phone calls etc, Jon Ronson delves into a world of
personal stories surrounding the central theme which all shed light on the human condition. Sometimes Jon goes in search of
answers and stories himself, sometimes his team of contributors do it for him. The end result is an original, fascinating, funny,
poignant and often philosophical journey through the human experience.
The programme also sounds like nothing else before. It is populated by an eclectic mix of music tracks used creatively to enhance
the speech and give a particularly late night feel to it - a kind of living nightmare in the chill out room feel."

He fell in love with himself. He created a person who he did love. It must be very hard to get your head around.

[@RossRossiter]

The glory days ? Haha

[@Mrsbeatle1968]

Dropping a kid off 2 hours before school is open is child abuse!

[@michaelhall5429]

These days. Although these days you'd be hard pressed to find anything a parent does that someone doesn't label abuse.

[@CharlesHawthorn]

This was interesting enough, except for the part with Josie long which was completely pointless and irrelevant.

[@georgeiscooking.1152]

That was pretty random. However I know what video she's referring to and you don't want to seek it out. Trust me.

@@GoteeDevotee Wow, you're so edgy calling a female comic a cunt. I wish I was as freethinking and unbound by convention as you.
