  • Summary

  • [Contains explicit content] Jon travels to California’s San Fernando Valley, where most of the world’s porn is made. There he finds pornographers with lives upended by Fabian’s business plan. But it isn’t long before Jon discovers something extraordinary: a community within the porn world fighting back by embarking on a very strange enterprise - pornography written, filmed, and performed for an audience of one.

Missed opportunity and lazy journalism

How can Ronson address this subject without any depth of the real impact on the people who perform in the porn industry? Particularly the female performers. What a missed opportunity in a podcast supposed to be about The Butterfly Effect of Porn Hub. Instead we get an elongated exploration of men's fantasies for cheap laughs. Extended interviews with tech specialists who've changed the face of porn, exponentially expanded access to a wider audience and whose understanding of The Butterfly Effect he doesn't explore. Lazy journalism from Ronson, not for the first time. He gets privileged access to really interesting interviewees and squanders the opportunity. Yawn.
