Hi. This is how my producer Lina Misitzis and I spent most of 2018. 

‘In December 2017 the famous porn star August Ames committed suicide in a park in Southern California. It happened a day after she’d been the victim of a Twitter pile-on by fellow porn professionals. A month later, Jon Ronson and his producer Lina Misitzis connected with August’s husband Kevin so they could piece together the story of how Twitter bullying killed his wife. 

But then something unexpected happened. Ronson and Misitzis began hearing rumors of a very different story about why August died - something mysterious and startling and terrible.’

The Last Days of August is released exclusively on Jan 4 2019 on Audible, and three months later wherever you get your podcasts:
