Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Yanks! In honor of NatSec November, I decided to continue the discussion about the state of security and intelligence today, and there’s absolutely no one know who understands it better than Phil Gurski (@borealissaves), president and CEO of Borealis Threat & Risk consulting, 20 year veteran of CSIS - the canadian security and intelligence service, author of multiple books, and host of the "Canadian Intelligence, Eh" podcast...

This past Tuesday was Election Day in the United States, so in keeping with the vaguely political climate around here, it's time for a State of the Union episode, if the union here is the global village of experts in countering violent extremism. We haven’t had such an episode in quite some time, because I've been rather frustrated with that community's fixation on incels, and I couldn't think of an "incel expert" to have on the show. Instead, today we talk about what terrorism actually is, and ...

Today’s guest is one you’ve all been looking forward to, and he does NOT disappoint. In fact, one of the reasons I was inspired to drop this early Halloween episode on y’all was this conversation, which we just recorded a few days ago. Paul is psychotherapist, in his 50s, from England, and our conversation left me rather speechless… so sit down, pour yourself a drink, and have a listen. Happy Halloween.

Today’s is guest is Helena, a 29 year-old female virgin from Russia. She doesn’t describe herself as a femcel, but she’d probably fit the definition according to the standards of many of these piece from trendy women’s magazines of late… but Helena is not one to feel sorry for herself, nor to blame men or the world at large for her situation, she’s really something of a hopeless romantic, who’s been through a lot in her life, including a long-distance crush on an incel... or two... "How Come You...

Today we have an interview with Donga, a 22 year old black man from Johannesburg, South Africa who identifies as incel. Donga is incredibly wise for his years, and brought a macro sort of perspective on the whole phenomenon that’s been sorely needed… and in his perspective, the urbanization of his own country is yielding similar results to John B. Calhoun’s “mice utopia” experiments… “Crapa Pelada (Blind Mice)” by Quartetto Cetra. 1945. Atlas Music Group. —————————————————————— —————————————————...

Today’s episode is one that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time, featuring Miss Audrey Brynn (@AudreyBrynn1), a professional dominatrix from London, whose perspective on men, sex, incels, desire, and this podcast is worth its metaphorical weight in gold! She even has a background in criminology, which I didn’t know until we spoke… She reached out a few months ago, after having listened to a bunch of episodes, and said she loved the show, and had some clients that were probably incels.

Today’s episode features an interview with Bottle Blank, an incel-adjacent singleton from the United Kingdom, whose shyness and social difficulties make him feel like a passive actor in his own life, somewhere in the background or at the whim of other people. His experiences with women have been awful and relatable, and we discuss them with great candor in this intimate, old-school return to form. "Use Me" by Bill Withers, 1972.

This week is a fascinating interview with a remarkable young man named Elliot, who suffers from a neurological condition called periventricular leukomalacia, the result of a brain injury that occurs during childbirth. It can manifest in many different ways, including cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, and it damage to very specific regions of the brain. Elliott’s story - the way he recognized this condition in himself - is truly amazing. He reached out because, for him, one of the manifestat...

Finally it's here - our first episode with a trans woman who identified as an incel during her younger years and relates to the mindset... This is a fascinating one, though the title is sort of clickbait-y -- sorry Vintologi! Because we think "transmaxxing" is really just a meme. Nixie (@ManicPixJeepGrl) is incredibly honest and compelling so I think I need say no more! Outro music: "Real" by Kendrick Lamar feat.

Today’s guest is a 39 year old incel from Norway. Many incels believe they’d have it worst in Scandinavian countries, that “sub-8 theory” reigns supreme in those places, because of their homogeneity and the financial security for women in the region.

Today’s episode is haute cuisine, the chef’s special, a rare delicacy — well, hopefully, not too rare — with writer Katherine Dee (@default_friend), my content creation spirit animal. We’ve converged here thanks in no small part to a recent piece in the Atlantic entitled, What do Femcels Really Want? But we end up talking about all kinds of things, of course, from the class and geographic factors of the sexual marketplace, to hack journalism, to the odd allure of TikTok recipes, and much, much m...

Our fascinating guest this week, like last week, isn’t an incel, but he believes he should be, mostly due to his appearance. Mr. S from Australia is a power-lifter who seems to struggle with body dysmorphic disorder. He doesn’t totally buy that diagnosis… but whether he has the condition or not, his self-image and the effect it has on his life will probably be familiar to many out there in the incelosphere, and a discussion about it is long overdue. ---------------------------- "Creep" by Radioh...

Today’s episode is about internet addiction, or more specifically, recovery. "Jamie" is not an incel, but he reached out as a listener to the pod, after hearing the topic discussed on a few episodes, because, let’s face it: it is very relevant when it comes to incels, and all of us very online people... He thought his journey might be potentially helpful, and he was right. . ————————————————————- Reach out to Jamie over e-mail at: anon.email@keemail.me —————————————————————— Check out ITAA at ht...

Well it was a heavy news week in the incelosphere, and the news is always bad, so we begin this episode with a deconstruction and a rant. As an antidote, today's episode features an interview with friend of the pod and brilliant researcher, William Costello (@costellowilliam), whose Masters thesis about incels produced some encouraging and enlightening results.

Today’s episode features an interview with Richard Orrett, @DisabledCel on Twitter. We recorded once, a couple years ago, but only spoke for 10 minutes or so, so I wanted to put it into one of those ambitious episodes I used to do with multiple interviews and short little quotes and TV clips and all kinds of music and narration — remember those?? Anyway, it didn’t happen so we recorded a nice, full, proper interview last week, to discuss his life and experiences with incel culture and the commun...

Today we chat with @PPEcel, a ricecel in his early 20s, who writes like a legal scholar. He’s been particularly active on incels.is in recent weeks, during the forum’s critical transitional period, and graciously took the time to have a chat about incel culture, freedom of speech, escort-celing, and the topic of child sexual abuse materials on the forum. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKate...

In the spirit of reciprocity, today’s episode features our very first femcel, Pora. Pora doesn’t call herself a female incel, which she explains in the interview. She, in fact, agrees with the black pill contention that women can’t really be incel — that with some exceptions, women can generally find someone to sleep with them if they want. but an empty, meaningless, one-time physical encounter, devoid of any emotional connection, would make many women (and men) feel used, even worse and more al...

Today’s episode finally takes on the very complicated case of the mass shooting on December 6th, 1989 at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. It is often considered the first “incel shooting” despite predating the term by 25 years.
