Episode Description from the Publisher

The arrests of misogynist influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami have shaken the so-called manosphere and given hope to many women who say they were abused by the pair (allegations they strongly deny). While it appears Trump administration will not intervene in their extradition fight, there are still questions as to whether their brand of toxic masculinity is too deeply embedded in the culture to remove. We talk to a reporter who uncovered how the brothers allegedly exploited women and leveraged social media to make millions.  Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault and violence.  For more: New documents detail rape charges against the Tate brothers in the UK. Here’s what we know  ---  Guest: Heidi Blake, The New Yorker investigate reporter  Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin  Photo By: Daniel Mihailescu/AFP/Getty Images Learn more about your ad choices.
