Podcaster Theo Von Is A Manosphere Mystery

On today’s episode, hosts Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay are joined
by culture writer Aja Romano to try to make sense of Theo Von. Von
was one of the podcasters credited with helping Donald Trump win
the election, but in recent months, he’s deviated from the
administration when it comes to his views on ICE raids and the war
in Gaza. Who is Theo Von, really? What does it mean that
influencers like him are part of the future of politics? And what
does it say about us if we find him…kinda funny? Get more of ICYMI
