About this episode

Worried about the Manosphere? We got you w a DLC.

We've got two of the world's leading authorities on what is really going on inside the world of the pay-to-play male paranoia.

James Bloodworth is a journalist and author, who has recently published 'Lost Boys: A Personal Journey Through the Manosphere'. Matt Shea is a former VICE journalist, best known for his series of documentaries on 'you know who', which were aired on the BBC.

Hopefully this 90+ min discussion can help explain the deeper complexities that tie the manosphere, the conspiracy right and male loneliness together - and offer some thought-provoking ideas on how we move forward.
