Andrew Marantz interviews the journalist Jon Ronson about his BBC Radio series “Things Fell Apart,” which examines culture wars in the United States.
Season 1 ranges broadly, examining the contingent origins of rifts that now seem inevitable—the roots of the evangelical church’s fixation on abortion, for instance, or the first major case of Internet censorship. Season 2 has a tighter frame: eight conflicts that culminate within a few weeks of one another, in May and June of 2020. The first episode begins in the late nineteen-eighties, when several African American sex workers were killed in Miami.
If I’m on a Hollywood Zoom, I’m the quiet person who doesn’t say much and hopes nobody asks me anything. Even when you’re reporting on people with extreme views, or people who have done troubling things, people refer to your reporting as empathetic, which I think is true. I like people thinking of me as being empathetic, but I think probably a better word is curious. If you fill your head with judgment, there’s no room for curiosity. And, also, I don’t like hierarchies.
