Description

For over 25 years, Welsh journalist Jon Ronson has been spending time with the absolute fringes of our communities.

He gets so deep in with these people, to truly humanize them.

Which is useful, especially that time he was outed as a Jew in the middle of a jihadi training camp.

One of Jon’s most famous books is called “The Psychopath Test” - and he’s touring a live event to Australia before the end of the year. It’s the chance to spend an evening with someone who’s spent his evenings with the most extreme, terrifying, ideological humans on the planet.
