Louis Theroux joins Kara to discuss his new Netflix documentary,
"Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere." The film explores the
online world of male influencers selling fitness, wealth and
self-improvement through ultra-masculine and misogynistic
ideologies. Louis focuses on the extreme fringes of the manosphere,
where racist, homophobic and antisemitic rhetoric mixes with
conspiracy theories – and his depiction of these influencers
manages to be both hilarious and nerve-racking at the same
time. Kara and Louis break down how the manosphere economy
works, why so much of the content targets teenage boys and how tech
platforms amplify it. They also examine the loneliness and economic
frustration that can make young men susceptible to these messages,
and why ideas that once lived on the fringe are increasingly moving
into the mainstream. Questions? Comments? Email us at
