Inside Andrew Tate's Manosphere, with Matt Shea and Jamie Tahsin
In recent years, the kickboxer turned reality TV star, Andrew Tate, has become a figurehead for a burgeoning sphere of toxic masculinity online. Drawn in by his shock-tactics and displays of wealth, his viral video content has helped to radicalise a whole generation of young men. But who is Andrew Tate? And how did he come to face alleged criminal accusations ranging from human trafficking to money laundering? Documentary makers Jamie Tahsin and Matt Shea have had unprecedented access to Tate’s inside world. Their new book, Clown World: Four Years Inside Andrew Tate's Manosphere, documents four years of their fascinating and disturbing investigation, tracking Tate’s rise to prominence and the threat he poses to modern society. Joining them to discuss the book is Carl Miller, the journalist, co-founder of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos, and host of crime podcast Kill List.
