Released today, the second episode of the Fully Human podcast (Tomorrow Is The Question) is a conversation between Professor Harriet Over, Dr David Zendle, myself, and Jono Baggaley looking at the marketing of misogyny online. In our wide-ranging conversation, we discuss: ·     the online ecosystem of misogyny ·     the interaction of engagement-driven algorithms, hate-fluencers, adolescent vulnerability, and gender norms ·     why it’s so hard to know what’s really going on in the ‘manosphere’ and exciting new methods to help us gain a better understanding ·     the personal costs of delving into this world I hope it’s of interest and use in our collective efforts to tackle this parasitic set of views which are causing so much harm to so many.
