Qanon is a discredited conspiracy theory cult that continues to hold a tight grip on the lives of millions of people - including many in Australia.

It's fantastical, dystopian, paranoid fantasies about Hilary Clinton, pedophile rings, ritual sacrifice and all sorts of other mind bending nonsense would be funny - if it weren't so serious.

In her new book "Qanon and On", journalist, playwright, and activist Van Badham goes down the rabbit hole of this internet cult and discovers it's a lot closer to all of us than we think.

Van is our guest on this week's edition of "On the Job".
