    • A shocking true crime listen from a world-leading journalist
    • The Debutante unveils the gripping true tale of a Tulsa debutante whose ‘90s choices thrust her into the dark depths of one of America’s most heinous crimes. Award-winning journalist Jon Ronson writes and narrates this deep dive into the mystery of Carol Howe—a former debutante, white supremacist champion, and ultimately, undercover spy. In 1995, while Carol was working with the government, spying on Oklahoma’s neo-Nazis, Timothy McVeigh perpetrated the devastating Oklahoma City bombing. This listen explores the haunting theory that, had Howe's intelligence been heeded, the attack might have been averted. Lives might have been saved. Ronson embarks on an investigative quest, unravelling Carol's elite upbringing, teenage rebellion, and radicalisation. Through court tapes, diaries, and interviews, Ronson crafts a nuanced portrayal, challenging assumptions about a woman entangled in a web of intrigue and secrecy.
