ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION:

In a world saturated by social media and marked by skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and ADHD among Gen Z, young people are growing up in a landscape of chaos and contradiction. While protests swell in city streets and activists hurl soup at famous artworks to demand climate action, a quieter crisis unfolds within - the mental and emotional battles faced by a generation trying to make sense of it all.

The Next Generation is hosted by 20-year-old Elliot Bewick, offering a raw and honest look at the world through the eyes of those living in it. Bringing together insight from professionals and young people on the ground, this podcast isn’t here to complain or chase clout. It’s here to bend the arc of the modern world towards solutions, truth and a love for the beautiful adventure of life itself.

As a young man, James Bloodworth got sucked into a world of pick-up artistry, online gurus and what we now call ‘the manosphere’. It was really interesting to hear about his personal experiences, what he saw and why he left. James has spent the last 6 years investigating the various subcultures of this dark corner of the internet - from red-pillers to incels - and details it all in his new book, ‘Lost Boys: A Personal Journey Through the Manosphere.’ (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DCDSLY5K/)

While here in South Africa, I was grateful for the opportunity to discuss the country's controversial new legislation with Dr Ernst Roets. An Afrikaner author and filmmaker, Dr Roets is a vocal campaigner for free speech, property rights and justice for murdered farmers. He is a leading expert on the topic of farm murders, and his book, ‘Kill the Boer: Government Complicity in South Africa's Brutal Farm Murders’ is an international bestseller. Dr Roets is also the producer of several documentary films. He is the Executive Director of the Pioneer Initiative, which seeks to promote a more sustainable political dispensation for South Africa based on the principles of self-governance and decentralisation.

Are we ignoring the crisis facing young men? George and I explore emotional repression, the myth of the gender pay gap, and how masculinity is being reshaped in a world that’s empowering women but leaving many boys behind.

George runs an Instagram account which in his words is 'Widening perspectives around men. Uncomfortable conversations and ugly truths; the unpopular other half of gender equality, and men’s mental health.'
