And arseholes- there are some arseholes too.
Brilliant journalism, balanced exploration of a movement it’s growth and its fall out.

Incredibly engaging, thought provoking journalism

Perfectly told with both live recordings and a retrospective narrative. Really suspenseful at times, incredibly insightful.

This reached its pinnacle in the episode "You'll Meet My Friends" Wolf sits down with Watkins, where he spends an hour asking if Watkins is curious about Q. I was left feeling like an opportunity was missed to extract more information from The guy who could be Q, but regardless is a key figure within the whole insane movement. This failure is then compounded when Wolf follows the interview by speaking with his tech guru, a lovely Irish woman, who immediately presented interesting avenues of detail that could and should have been
