Jon Ronson introduces So You've Been Publicly Shamed

Acclaimed writer and journalist Jon Ronson relates his startling journey into the lives of the shamed - people ruined by a badly worded tweet or a work faux pas – in 6 episodes of 15 minutes each.

A nice, short spoken word version of the book of the same name, narrated by the author. His take is well worth listening to, even if you don’t agree with everything he says.

Quick and Interesting

From a listener in California: I appreciate this writer’s thoughts (I heard all except Episode 1, due to self-imposed content restriction on my phone). Beneficial -- as well as very sad — to listen to. Sounds like I am not missing much out there on Facebook &amp; Twitter. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Well-written & produced.
