About Us:

Wrongthink is a podcast where minds are free to go wherever logic might take them. Hosts Thomas Chatterton Williams and Jeff Maurer explore the issues of the day with the goal of shedding light on areas that have been left unexplored. The podcast is – as the tagline says – “more of a question than a comment”.

Thomas Chatterton Williams is a renowned writer and visiting professor of humanities, with multiple prestigious awards and fellowships. He’s a contributing writer for The Atlantic and has authored two critically acclaimed books, with another one currently in the works.

Jeff is an Emmy award-winning writer and comedian known for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and his Substack, I Might Be Wrong. So, basically: Thomas provides the brainy banter and Jeff provides the comic chatter. Both seek out conversations that move beyond ideological talking points and find some modicum of truth.

If exploring questions is more interesting to you than being handed answers, then Thomas and Jeff invite you to join them in some Wrongthink.
