Danny Wallace: How I got sucked into the conspiracy rabbit hole...

Danny Wallace is a bestselling author and broadcaster who loves nothing more than thinking up fun ideas and seeing how far he can take them. His first book, Join Me, tells the true story of how he he accidentally started a cult. His second book, Yes Man, describes what happened when he decided to say yes to everything - a story so compelling it was adapted into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey.

Now he's delving into the world of conspiracies with his new book, Somebody Told Me. Danny tells James how he fell down a rabbit hole of disinformation and well-told lies and why he's never been afraid of rejection.

Somebody Told Me: One Man's Unexpected Journey Down The Rabbit Hole of Lies, Trolls and Conspiracies is out now.
