Jon Ronson On... Irrational Thoughts

Series 2 Episode 2. Aired 24th January 2006 on BBC Radio 4.
From Jon's website:
"Each week in a series of interviews, short location reports, scripted monologues, phone calls etc, Jon Ronson delves into a world of personal stories surrounding the central theme which all shed light on the human condition. Sometimes Jon goes in search of answers and stories himself, sometimes his team of contributors do it for him. The end result is an original, fascinating, funny, poignant and often philosophical journey through the human experience.
The programme also sounds like nothing else before. It is populated by an eclectic mix of music tracks used creatively to enhance the speech and give a particularly late night feel to it - a kind of living nightmare in the chill out room feel."

Jon Ronson is SO funny. I can't believe he's only got 33 viewers. We are PLAGUED by thoughts. We spend half our lives worrying about what MIGHT happen, thereby guaranteeing half our lives are marred. I used to have OCD a bit. Pardon my French, but you've just got to say, 'fuck it !'

I'm sorry, I just have to say that, although I believe in the supernatural, some 'ghost hunters' are just pathetic. Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) is just electronic interference. The tape equipment used is very sensitive and after a human asks a question, the tape with pick up any interference. People interpret these noises as speech, but they just sound like noise. Derren Brown does a good program on US 'ghost hunters', where he completely debunks EVP. Brown demolishes the 'ghost hunter'.
