Summary

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1315 The Last Alpha Male: Taki Spills Secrets on Princess Di, Jeffrey Epstein, Boris Johnson and more Join Richard Syrett's Strange Planet for an explosive interview with journalist and provocateur Taki Theodoracopulos. In his memoir The Last Alpha Male, Taki lifts the veil on a lost era of Western high society—royal circles, elite salons, and media shadows—where scandals were buried and reputations shielded. He exposes the collapse when discretion died, image trumped character, and decadence shed its last restraints. Expect sharp insights on masculinity's decline, elite hypocrisy, narrative control, and civilization's price for abandoning seriousness. Taki spills unfiltered secrets on Jeffrey Epstein (his early, ignored warnings), Princess Diana (personal encounters), and Boris Johnson (Spectator-era stories). Raw, witty, and unapologetic—don't miss this insider's take on hidden power. Listen now! GUEST: Taki Theodoracopulos is the legendary Greek-born writer, publisher, and unrepentant cultural contrarian. A shipping heir educated in America, he excelled as a champion skier, Davis Cup tennis player, and war correspondent before becoming The Spectator's iconic "High Life" columnist for nearly 50 years. Co-founder of The American Conservative and Taki's Magazine, he's authored memoirs chronicling high-society excess, mischief, and moral decay—always with bold, irreverent insight into power's hidden truths.
