Show Description

📲 Louis Theroux dives into the manosphere, red pill culture, and the rise of online male influencers — and the lads unpack it all. From toxic masculinity and incels to dating, modern masculinity and social media algorithms, it’s an honest chat about how young men get pulled into these worlds.

Something Only You Know: Just The Tip Of It

Any stories or questions, get 'em in ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or tag us on social @ladsanonpod
