Summary
We got to interview author, Jon Ronson, and it is an epic fangirl session. He is the author of our September book club pick, So You've Been Publicly Shamed. He also wrote The Psychopath Test and Men Who Star at Goats. We somehow convinced him to speak with us and he probably regrets it. We discuss online shaming, public humiliation, and reality television.
