Interview: Jon Ronson

By: Seamus Waldron Published: 18 November 2009

First in our series of Bite Sized Interviews about Marmite. Out first interview is with Jon Ronson, author, journalist and the man behind the film "The Men Who Stare at Goats". You can buy the book The Men Who Stare at Goats film tie-in from Amazon.

So what was the verdict? Jon came back instantly, and emphatically, on the love side. He even did a bit of my job for me, recommending the Marmite-and-Marston's cricket edition (the one made with the brewer's yeast) before it sold out, and cheerfully owning up to a stash of something like eight pots at home. Devotion or hoarding, I could not quite tell.

Update, 2026: The celebrity-Marmite interview format has continued. See Twelve celebrities go on the record about Marmite.
