What if the algorithm wasn’t raising our boys?
In this episode, Dr Andy Cope and his son Ollie join forces with Paul McGee to talk about their new book for teenage lads, Ladult: Navigating Safely from Boy to Man.
From toxic masculinity to the chaos of the “manosphere,” they dig into what it actually means to be a good man now - without going all beige, boring, or preachy.
You’ll hear about digital natives vs digital immigrants, why screens are brilliant and a nightmare, and how today’s boys are drowning in advice that’s either unhelpful, unrealistic, or just plain unhinged.
Andy and Ollie explain how they’ve tried to cut through the noise with something gritty, honest, properly researched - and brave enough to tackle the stuff most books dodge (yes, including the M-word and the internet’s darker corners).
Tune in if you’re a parent, a teacher, a teenage boy... or just someone who thinks the next generation of men deserve better than TikTok wisdom and toxic role models.
