Show Notes
The new Netflix show "Adolescence" has touched a nerve. In its first four days alone, it pulled in 24 million views. The fictionalised account of a 13 year old boy who murders his female classmate shines a light on a growing problem; the dangerous impact misogynist influencers are having on young men. If you've been preoccupied by the show and how you can take action on it, this episode is for you. Originally published in January 2025, Dr Darragh McCashin from the School of Psychology at DCU outlines the best way to speak to the young people in your life about influencers like Andrew Tate. The complete resource for parents and teachers can be accessed for free here.
Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Produced by John Casey.
