Announcing the Incident at Ong’s Hat

The series will premiere on BBC 4 Radio Limelight on air and then as a podcast after every Friday broadcast for five weeks. It was a five-part series titled The Incident at Ong’s Hat.

The series was inspired by Ong’s Hat: The Beginning and elements from my personal life.

My upcoming book, Ong’s Hat: Compleat, will have a chapter about this series. It will be available in 2025.

I make an appearance playing “myself,” or at least a fictionalized version of myself, as it were.

Here are some raw audio interviews conducted as background material by the “so-called” producers. I call this series Behind the Scenes.

Here’s an Archive.org collection of all the BTS files: https://archive.org/details/joseph-matheny-ongs-hat-interview

Disclaimer: The Incident at Ong’s Hat was not written by me. It is a true crime podcast story using the Ong’s Hat narrative and elements taken from my personal life. This is part of the reason I am sharing the interviews behind this story. I think seeing both sides, the facts and the fiction, will illuminate the process. I do not endorse or recommend the series.
