I've just released a brand new epilogue episode of my Audible show THE DEBUTANTE, about the very mysterious Carol Howe. It's because of an extraordinary, dreadful message I received out of the blue in January. Everything is explained HERE: .

Adam Curtis has a new show out tomo, Shifty, about how power shifted in Britain from 1979-2000. It's REALLY good. He's so great at bringing things in that shouldn't fit but do, like Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Ep5 with the Dome and subprime is devastating:

Hey! I've been writing a weekly Substack (some free some paid) about narrative nonfiction - specifically my fixation on how a piece of journalism can be made to feel as distinctive as a novel or a painting. Here's the latest one, about worldbuilding.

Being a fan of both Virginia Heffernan and Patrick Radden Keefe, I really loved their conversation about Luigi Mangione and Dolores Price here:

Brandon was terrific to work with on Psychopath Night, as was everyone from Fane and Kontour, the tour managers.
Not to mention how good the show was, was funnier than a show about psychopaths has any right to be XD. A big thank you to the teams at Tell and Kontour for bringing me on, and a big thanks to Phil and @jonronson for just being the absolute best to work with!
