This is the BBC 4 radio program in which Jon Ronson interviewed Vapor (one of the AnandTech members who, with Reitz and Johnlee, uncovered the hoax) and me about the NowhereMom hoax that happened here 10 years ago. Jon Ronson is a very good journalist. He alone was given access to Stanley Kubrik's archives. He also wrote The Men Who Stared At Goats.

Be mindful that the time listed is for the UK time zone. The broadcast will remain available for 5 days and you'll just have to click the "Listen now' button like can be seen on the current program named Fear Of Flying.

After that, I think Jon will archive it as mp3 on his forum so I'll just link to this and the Register article the next time someone asks about the hoax.

Hopefully this broadcast will provide more answers and insight for those interested in the hoax and its aftermath.

Yeah you got permabanned. Oh, wait

 

[UglyCasanova]

Marked for later. Looks interesting.

Can I say that I now know somebody famous?

 

[sandorski]

Should be interesting,

I don't exactly remember how I reacted to it. I didn't spend as much time in OT back then, so the controversy may have been pretty much finished by the time I even knew about it.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

Talk about a lurker. LOL

Dennil still wants his 15 minutes of dwindling limelight.

"How I tricked some writer into caring about me"

 

[biggestmuff]

why was he UN-permabanned again?

 

[guyver01]

why was he UN-permabanned again?

because the admin plan of bringing traffic to the website by creating a "hoax" .. succeeded?

 

[SooperDave]

Yeah great but, what have you done for us lately?

 

[TheWart]

hmm, the BBC is really scrapin the bottom of the barrel for stories lol.

 

[Dari]

It's be great if we could see the original threads again. Not sure what Anandtech.com would lose from that.

 

[Miramonti]

15 minutes begins when?...

 

[Johnlee]

I'm glad I wasted the minutes of my life to find my login and password (Thanks Heather) so I could enjoy this.

10 years later and you still creep me out dude. You rock the internet.

 

[dennilfloss]

Hope life has been good to you, Johnlee. Welcome back.
