A list of puns related to "Gonzo journalism"
Hey all!
I just finished an episode of JRE with David Holthouse (I know I know Joe Roganβ¦). I really liked Davidβs Sasquatch series on Hulu so I figured Iβd tune in.
He described himself as a gonzo journalist and told these really interesting stories about going undercover to infiltrate skinhead groups, speed addicts, raver culture and how the mafia infiltrated Phoenix ravers, and pot growers in the Emerald Triangle. I found his stories fascinating because 1) infiltrating these groups sounds so intense, dangerous, and wild and 2) I learned about very niche topics that I wouldnβt think to really look into
Does anyone have any suggestions for podcasts episodes, series, or guests to look for that involve gonzo journalism, undercover journalists, or are reports about societies, events, etc that are super interesting but are kinda unknown?
Thanks for the suggestions!
Watch & Enjoy!

The definition from Wikipedia:
"Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story using a first-person narrative."
Read some Jon Ronson books a couple of years back (the psychopath test, the men who stare at goats, so you've been publicly shamed) and found them really interesting and entertaining. I know the classic in the genre is fear and loathing in Las Vegas, could anyone reccomend this title or any other similar titles?
Pretty much what the title says. Just any book that is gonzo-esque. Any topic is fine too.
Before VICE sold out, man. /s
But honestly, are there any sites that do the kind of video docs that Vice used to be known for? The funny immersion journalism? Covering absurdity alongside the facts?
