Summary

In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages with Angela Denker, author of 'Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood.' They discuss the intersections of toxic masculinity, radicalization, and the influence of media and money on young men. The conversation explores the alarming trends in mental health among white boys and men, the dichotomy of masculinity presented in right-wing media, and the broader implications of patriarchy on society.
