The Dumb Ages

In part two of our look at the menace of internet sleuths, Jack tells us all about a case that’s been rumbling along in the USA - the case of Nolan Wells.

Another (most likely) accidental drowning that some people are desperate to believe was actually a murder. Jack’s done a cracking job on this, so get your ears round it!

I’m releasing this to everyone as a one off special freebie, to try and get more people interested in the show.

I’m going solo this week, for reasons I explain in the episode and I’m looking at internet sleuths, a modern menace, prone to insane hot takes and conspiracy theories. I explain what they are, who they are and how they interfered with an investigation into a disappearance here in the UK in 2023.

Dumb-agers react to the death of Professor Jason Arday, and it isn’t big or clever. Plus, the government’s latest stupid stunt. And no, that’s not Cockney rhyming slang

We are back, back, back again and raring to go. Farage’s damp squib of a victory in Clacton and how it’s likely to have to happen all over again in a few months’ time, prison release schemes that please nobody, migration policies that have the same effect and the brave, beautiful, stunning trans women of colour seeking to enter the WNBA – we discuss it all over a three course brunch prepared by our in-house cordon bleu chef, André.
