You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and maybe it's when I had a hand in.

I'm Tammy Walker and I produce podcasts for the BBC.

My role is to give new and diverse creators a voice with the opportunity to build a career.

That's the thing I love about podcasts.

You start with just a good idea, but then you have the space to see where it goes.

And doing that at the BBC means we can really run with the best stories

while developing the most unique audio talent.

So if you like what you hear, why not check out the huge range of podcast we've got on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

From BBC Radio 4, this is Things Fell Apart, season 2.

I'm John Ronson and in the last season of things fell apart I unearthed strange origin stories of the

culture wars that have divided us so toxically for decades.

But now new battle fronts have opened, many of them linked by one extraordinary thing, which is that they all blew up and engulfed us within days of each

other, six weeks into lockdown. That bizarre experience of lockdown changed people psychologically.

We grew ever more suspicious of our neighbours and our institutions.

People fell apart. And so I wanted to make a new season, this time about those culture wars and their origins.

But they're also stories about untruths and their consequences. In each episode

someone will say something that isn't quite true and the ripples are devastating

including in this story.

I sat down and I focused on a television and I'm looking at this and I'm thinking

wow man won't somebody help him won't they stop and my sister calls me and said did you see what they did to Perry and I

set the phone down John. One of the first great lockdown culture wars has the most unlikely origin moment.
