They unpack the impact of the online world on boys, the impossible balance of protecting kids while keeping them connected, and why critical thinking might just be the new superpower.

  • To Be A Boy, episode 12: Teenage Wisdom: Josh Sargent vs. The Manosphere
    Ever wondered what teenage boys really think about the Manosphere? In this week’s enlightening episode of To Be A Boy, Joeli Brearley and Elliott Rae break new ground by speaking directly to someone who’s living it—15-year-old Josh Sargent. Josh isn’t just navigating GCSEs; he’s writing a book about the Manosphere, all while grappling with the dual life of consuming content privately at home and existing in a world where these topics are rarely discussed openly among peers. This episode is packed with Josh’s unique take on online masculinity culture, the myths surrounding teenage boys as ardent Manosphere fans, and the surprising reality of how these influences manifest in their lives.
