Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorrenti. In recent years, the little-known 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 radicalize a whole generation of young men. But who is Andrew Tate?
And how did he become such a troubling online phenomenon? And how did he come to face alleged criminal accusations, ranging from human trafficking to money laundering? Documentary makers, Jamie Tarzin and Matt Shea, have spent over four years reporting on Andrew Tate from inside his world. Their work for outlets such as Vice has covered the rise of Andrew Tate, as well as topics ranging from drug use to teenagers drawn to crime. Their new book is Clown World.
Four years inside Andrew Tate's manosphere. Carl Miller, the technology researcher, author and host of the hit podcast Kill List, spoke to Jamie and Matt to find out more.
