Writer Jon Ronson joins Shaun

Writer Jon Ronson joins Shaun to chat about his new book, plus Matt Everitt has the latest music news.

The wonderful Jon Ronson joins Shaun this morning to chat about his new book, So You've Been Publicly Shamed. In 2012, Jon's online identity was stolen. He went onto confront the imposters, a trio of academics who had created a Jon Ronson Twitter bot obsessed by unlikely food combinations. At first, Jon was delighted to find strangers all over the world uniting to support him in his outrage. The wrongdoers were quickly shamed into stopping. But then things got out of hand. Jon chats with Shaun about the book in which he meets famous shamers and shamees and learns just how quickly public ridicule and vitriol, often delivered from anonymous or distant sources, can devastate its victim.

All this plus Matt Everitt joins with the latest music news and the Small Claims Court is open after 8am.
