Jon Ronson (Part One)

Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

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!
