EP 1207 Unmasking Truth: How Dissent Becomes Dangerous in a Post-Truth World
In this gripping episode, Richard Syrett dives into the murky waters of truth and dissent with John Schoneboom, author of Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy. Schoneboom exposes how institutions silence dissent under the guise of combatting "disinformation," using case studies like COVID-19, the
Syrian chemical attack, and 9/11’s Building 7. With sharp wit, he questions
whether science and democracy still thrive or if we’ve traded open inquiry for narrative control. This episode challenges listeners to rethink how truth is
shaped and why asking the "wrong" questions can cost you everything.
GUEST: John Schoneboom, a novelist, playwright, and former journalist, fearlessly probes the shadows of the post-truth era. His book Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy dissects how dissent is silenced through censorship and narrative control, urging critical thinking over conformity with sardonic wit and intellectual rigor.
