Things Fell Apart: The most mysterious deaths
The remarkable origin story of a terrible murder committed during lockdown.
If you have ever yelled at someone on social media about, say, cancel culture or mask-wearing, then you are a soldier in the culture wars - those everyday battles for dominance between conflicting values.
These wars can obsess us. They can consume our lives and tear families apart. Across this series of Things Fell Apart, Jon Ronson uncovers some strange unexpected tales of real consequence.
In this episode: How the mysterious deaths of 32 black sex workers in Miami in the 1980s led to a whole new (and spurious) mental health diagnosis that in turn led directly to a murder that occurred during the height of lockdown.
