  • The Jon Ronson series

    I can’t tell you how much the Things Fell Apart debunk meant to me as a trans listener. I was so disappointed, especially with how thoughtlessly he platformed rhetoric that puts the people I love and me in danger.

    It felt good to hear you guys care. Thank you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WTW149: Dan Patrick Wants to Fail Texas Schools Over Books Rated by Random Volunteers
Q: Knight by Elie Wiesel—why is this book on the list and how does it align with Senate Bill 13's criteria?
The hosts discuss the controversy around Knight, noting Patrick's claim it could be rated R if adapted, while highlighting the broader debate about whether Holocaust memoirs should be read in schools and how the bill's criteria are applied.
WTW149: Dan Patrick Wants to Fail Texas Schools Over Books Rated by Random Volunteers
Q: You said you would drop a full-letter grade for any district with a listed book on this list. Would that supersede the existing advisory council process?
Patrick implies a hard threshold that would override local book-review processes, arguing for state-level accountability penalties based on a list created outside Texas educators, which would effectively bypass local governance.
WTW128: Crowdfunding Hate, with Naomi Bethune
Q: What surprised you most in your research?
She was struck by how quickly a campaign could escalate to a seven- or eight-figure goal, funded by anonymous donors, and how often mainstream outlets re-circulated or minimally covered these efforts unless they intersected with larger, sensational narratives.
WTW128: Crowdfunding Hate, with Naomi Bethune
Q: How do these campaigns typically spread and who is involved?
Her reporting shows a spectrum of donors from casual supporters to white supremacist networks; social media amplification and targeted outreach through accounts that promote racist ideologies help these campaigns go viral and sustain themselves.
WTW117: Deeper Into Matt Murphy's Child Trafficking Cinematic Universe
Q: What is Matt Murphy's role and credibility in this discussion?
The hosts probe Murphy's leadership of a nonprofit network and scrutinize fundraising practices, implying concerns about transparency and accountability, while giving him space to explain his mission.
