Dark Net Expert Explains What The Internet Is Doing To Us | Jamie Bartlett
Dark Net Expert Explains What The Internet Is Doing To Us | Jamie Bartlett In this episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Jimmy interviews Jamie Bartlett about his unconventional career spanning technology writing, policy work, and narrative podcasting. Bartlett describes becoming an early expert on internet subcultures, researching groups from the EDL to online forums, and learning investigative techniques like using Facebook ads to reach communities. He explains why he tries to stay politically neutral to maintain trust across audiences, and discusses how social media incentives reward emotion, distort perceptions of public opinion, and turn politics into “clip farming,” while long-form podcasts can restore deeper listening. Bartlett shares the ingredients of successful limited-series podcasts and recounts major BBC projects including The Missing Cryptoqueen, Believe in Magic, and A Very British Cult, emphasizing victims’ perspectives, storytelling structure, and timing in journalism. 00:00 Intro 01:55 Guest Bio 02:38 Finding a Career Path 03:41 Internet Subcultures Obsession 06:05 Old School Publishing Dreams 06:52 Early Jobs and Drive 07:34 Demos and EDL Research 09:16 Getting Access and Trust 11:23 Journalism Identity Debate 12:44 Algorithms Reward Emotion 14:15 Staying Politically Neutral 18:09 Politics as Clip Culture 19:41 Social Media Perception Warp 20:56 Echo Chambers Myth 21:46 Podcasts and Attention Spans 22:08 Addicted to Crisis 22:28 Long Form Podcast Revival 23:40 Podcast Craft and Hit Series 25:28 Building a Great Narrative 28:42 Finding Stories in Real Life 32:06 Inside a Very British Cult 34:01 Status Belonging and Tribes 40:06 Timing and Cultural Cut Through 43:30 AI Jobs Debate Next 44:42 Break and Wrap Up ********** Follow us on socials!

Weekly Cult Situation Report 1/16/26: ICE Updates, News From Nigeria, BBC Gets Targeted, and More
Weekly Cult Situation Report 1/16/26: ICE Updates, News From Nigeria, BBC Gets Targeted, and More Can anyone help connect us to someone who knows abouts cults in Nigeria? The new documentary on Andrea Yates unpacks a tragedy where there's plenty of blame to go around. Nigeria has a cult problem we want to learn more about. The Lighthouse targets a BBC reporter. Trump continues to balloon budgets with tariff money, and throws a tantrum over Greenland. Plus, there's so so much sorrow when it comes to ICE.

Three years ago #AVeryBritishCult attempted to have me removed from Reddit.
Today, a group of "anti-scientology" LARPers are attempting the same thing.
I am filing a Police report because I won't be bullied.

The #BBC Legal Department refused to disclose who had my #Scientology #Cult dossier under "Journalism Purposes" despite it wielded against me by BBC Investigations Service when raising concerns of another Cult.

The #BBC Legal Department are refusing to state what information they hold on me.
A participant of #AVeryBritishCult told me recently they were in possession of this dossier in 2022.
Additionally another participant told others of the contents of this dossier.

Sept last year in a meeting with #BBC Investigations Service notifying them of details later published by @thesun.co.uk, I was asked about my Medical Record - details that feature in a dossier used by #Scientology & in possession of participants of #AVeryBritishCult in 2022

Naturally I expect the #Northampton Chronicle & Echo to now block me, like the @itvcentral.bsky.social journalist who made this 2021 report featuring #AVeryBritishCult leader Paul Waugh, despite an apology from her editor later after the @dailymail.co.uk exposed him

What's that?
A BBC-presenter is currently harassing a #Cult survivor that she recruited?
Far-fetched? NOT ON YOUR NELLY!
#AVeryBritishCult @catrinnye.bsky.social ... just bury it - it might go away

It's said #Scientology #Cult leader David Miscavige personally directs OSA operations.
So, how did a file about me, containing my Medical Record end up in OSA's hands when it was in the hands of participants of the BBC's #AVeryBritishCult documentary in May 2022?

When #AVeryBritishCult Lighthouse began their harassment campaign against @catrinnye.bsky.social I encouraged she make contact with a real #Cult expert in the UK who could inform her about Graham Baldwin.
Lighthouse threatening people at their homes & workplaces was happening in Nov 2022.

Of course this #AVeryBritishCult participant has her own hate-website now.
What her personal #Cult "expert" Graham Baldwin did not tell her is that is how things play out when dealing with a #Narcissist (he should know).
A total sh*t-show.

As uncomfortable as it is to state this, the #AVeryBritishCult production team were played.
And there will be two much larger #Cult leaders laughing at the BBC:
"Dr" Tony Quinn & David Miscavige.

BREAKING NEWS: Trolls of Lighthouse International Group Running Scared Troll ringleader is banned from Reddit… if what they were doing was so virtuous, then why would that happen?

A reminder, this event was covered by the #AVeryBritishCult Lighthouse themselves in May 2022.
James Mills, who penned this nonsense, took great glee in this and stated how he was in possession of this #Scientology file about me.

I've been reflecting.
Back around May 2022 when my first #Cult hate-website was published & posted on the Lighthouse International subreddit - I was ejected as a Mod & was told how a #AVeryBritishCult participant told people facets of my #Scientology file.
Funny that.

From September 2022, it's #JohnMacArthur & #AVeryBritishCult leader Paul Waugh around the time the money disappeared from the bank account of the Lighthouse International #Cult.
Recently an arrest-warrant was issued for one of Waugh's deputies: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#AVeryBritishCult trial adjourned until October 6.
It would be intrusive to say why so I shan't.
No defendants showed up
Only 3 Lighthouse members present, 2 kicked off the Press benches for not having credentials

The Legal Department of the #BBC have responded stating that my query as to Who had access to my #Scientology #Cult dossier, called out by Mid Sussex District Council last week, has been deemed a Complex Request and they want to delay responding for TWO MONTHS.

Another participant of #AVeryBritishCult recently told me THEY were also privy to my #Scientology #Cult dossier smearing me.
They also claimed I had ranted & was incoherant about my objection to Graham Baldwin.
But I had published this in October 2022 ⬇️
www.reddit.com/r/cults/comm...

I should note the first person who refused, a #AVeryBritishCult participant, had seen my #Scientology #Cult dossier smearing me.
They also went on to represent Graham Baldwin on Reddit calling him a leading Cult-expert.
People in the ex-cult domain in the UK don't like Baldwin for GOOD REASONS.

In May 2022 #AVeryBritishCult Lighthouse made videos smearing ex-members and relatives & I downloaded them.
I attempted to send to a participant to pass onto the Police, they refused.
I then asked Graham Baldwin - he refused.
I finally demanded of someone to take them.
Were they given to the Police?

Something I find amusing about #AVeryBritishCult by the #BBC is that in the doc it appears that one of the participants calls @catrinnye.bsky.social to report a #Cult.
But it was actually a friend of Nye's in December 2021 who made her aware from the USA.
TV is a funny old business.

In July 2022 a member of #AVeryBritishCult Lighthouse was offering to anyone information about me that appeared in the dossier sent by the #Scientology #Cult to Mid Sussex District Council.
This information was given to Lighthouse by a BBC presenter.
