Ronson said: Recent months have shown that were living in post truth times where all sorts of lies are allowed to flourish for all sorts of reasons, and many people are guilty of that from across the political spectrum.
What the podcast is about in the end is that we have to hold on to truth like driftwood or else well drown.
