Narrated by Elle Fanning, One Click explores how a single click on the internet can change your life forever. Season 1 tells the story of DNP (2,4-dinitrophenol), an explosive chemical originally used in WWI-era munitions factories that is now being sold on the internet as a diet pill leaving hundreds dead in its wake. Together with journalist Jessica Wapner, Elle Fanning traces the history of DNP and asks, why (despite the perils) have so many turned to DNP and what does it say about the health of our society? New York Times: “This mind boggling investigative series ... plays much like a horror story” Vanity Fair: “A riveting look at the destructive consequences of DNP’s second life as a fat-burning pill” Harper’s Bazaar: “Gripping” Refinery29: “Fascinating” Binge all episodes of One Click exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

I would love to hear more of this type of journalism. I hope there is some sort of a season 2.
Great podcast

Well done! I couldn’t stop listening. Very disturbing content. I have unfollowed for season 2 because I recently listened to another podcast with an in-depth look at the history of drug rehab facilities starting with Synanon. But I look forward to season 3
How many unnecessary deaths from quacks have gone undetected?

Back in 1976 there was a weight loss clinic in St. Louis, Missouri called Millay Clinic. I remember reading the St. Louis Post Dispatch newspaper article—an exposé—warning the public. And to make it all the more real included yearbook style headshot photos of all the women who had died under their care. A few months later my mother was dead. She was 42.
