Jon Ronson (Part One)

This week on Walking The Dog, the brilliant journalist and author Jon Ronson joins Emily and Raymond from New York City! Jon has an adorable - albeit sometimes needy - elderly Spaniel Poodle cross called Josie who emigrated to the US with Jon and his family, alongside their other dog Floppy, a Tibetan Terrier, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.Jon tells us about an infamous portrait that hung in the bar of the hotel run by his family in Wales, why being an outsider makes a good journalist, and what happened when he emailed his teenage bullies to tell them that he was a bestselling author. Part Two of this chat will be available on Thursday!Jon Ronson’s Psychopath Night is on tour in Autumn 2024.
