1: Bluepilled AF.

Season 1 · Episode 1

lundi 5 août 2019Duration 41:54

In the first installment of INCEL, Naama explores her fascination with identity online and provides a brief primer on the evolution of the web as a platform, before beginning her investigation by tracking down a controversial poster named Neo, at the beginning, when she was still "bluepilled af."  —————————————————————— The blue pill represents a life of luxurious security, tranquil happiness, and blissful ignorance of the harsh realities of existence. In contrast, the red pill represents freedom resulting from knowledge of these brutal truths of reality. We'll get to the black pill. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is produced by Naama Kates and brought to you by Crawlspace Media.

mardi 8 octobre 2019Duration 36:47

Incels have been in the news. In episode 9 of INCEL, Naama unpacks some of the recent events behind the headlines, such as the military warning issued about the release of the new Joker movie. Through statements from the community’s leaders, the chatter on the forums, and the start of a conversation with forensic psychologists Dr. Scott and Dr. Shiloh from the LA Not So Confidential podcast (which continues next week), INCEL starts to really grapple with the question of potential violence from this community. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

88: From Russia, with Love w/ Helena

Season 3 · Episode 88

jeudi 20 octobre 2022Duration 01:09:31

Today’s is guest is Helena, a 29 year-old female virgin from Russia. She doesn’t describe herself as a femcel, but she’d probably fit the definition according to the standards of many of these piece from trendy women’s magazines of late… but Helena is not one to feel sorry for herself, nor to blame men or the world at large for her situation, she’s really something of a hopeless romantic, who’s been through a lot in her life, including a long-distance crush on an incel... or two...

89: Protective Illusions w/ Paul

Season 3 · Episode 89

dimanche 30 octobre 2022Duration 01:17:56

Today’s guest is one you’ve all been looking forward to, and he does NOT disappoint. In fact, one of the reasons I was inspired to drop this early Halloween episode on y’all was this conversation, which we just recorded a few days ago. Paul is psychotherapist, in his 50s, from England, and our conversation left me rather speechless… so sit down, pour yourself a drink, and have a listen. Happy Halloween.

90: Terrorism Studies Inc w/ Liam Duffy

Season 3 · Episode 90

vendredi 11 novembre 2022Duration 01:11:59

This past Tuesday was Election Day in the United States, so in keeping with the vaguely political climate around here, it's time for a State of the Union episode, if the union here is the global village of experts in countering violent extremism.
We haven’t had such an episode in quite some time, because I've been rather frustrated with that community's fixation on incels, and I couldn't think of an "incel expert" to have on the show. Instead, today we talk about what terrorism actually is, and what it actually isn’t, with Liam Duffy (@LiamSD12). Liam is an advisor to the Counter Extremism Project, a friend, and a great writer, and graciously agreed to come on and talk a little shop and dispel some stubborn myths about how this all works…

91: A Real Dog's Breakfast w/ Phil Gurski

Season 3 · Episode 91

vendredi 25 novembre 2022Duration 42:56

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Yanks! In honor of NatSec November, I decided to continue the discussion about the state of security and intelligence today, and there’s absolutely no one know who understands it better than Phil Gurski (@borealissaves), president and CEO of Borealis Threat & Risk consulting, 20 year veteran of CSIS - the canadian security and intelligence service, author of multiple books, and host of the "Canadian Intelligence, Eh" podcast...

92: A Passage to Currystan w/ Karun

Season 3 · Episode 92

jeudi 8 décembre 2022Duration 01:05:32

Today we’re going to continue this streak of exceptional interviews and our branching out of the WEIRD world we often inhabit (that’s the acronym WEIRD: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) with Karun, a currycel living in India. This is a timely interview in part because just last week we had a mind numbingly bad article in GNET (the global network on extremism and technology) titled “Incel Extremism in India: A view from the global south.” I won’t be including that link in the notes but you can google. I’m sure you’ll all be shocked when I tell you that none of its “insights” are reflected in the conversation you’re about to here... Outro: "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand. 2004.

Hello world! Today's episode is a bonus, year-in-review medley, as a way to take inventory before heading on into 2023. PodMother loves all her children equally, so we're not going to a "Best Of" list. Instead, this is going to be a clip show, like they do on TV, to recap what we’ve learned, and check in our lovely guests.
