Episode Details

Join our hosts for Friday’s show from 4–6pm as we discuss Politics Hour and the rise of misogyny in schools. Politics Hour Join us as we examine how U.S. foreign policy has shifted in recent years and what this change in direction reveals about America’s evolving global priorities. We’ll explore the impact of these shifts on long-standing alliances, including whether the U.S. approach has weakened trust within NATO and what this could mean for European security and future cooperation. Misogyny Rising misogyny in schools has become an increasing concern, with boys increasingly being identified for early intervention. Join us as we examine how online culture and social media shape attitudes towards women, the impact of these ideas on young people, and whether education-based interventions can realistically change the tide. Guests Nicolai Due-Gundersen – Middle East cultural and political analyst. Professor John Hearn – Economist, author, and university lecturer specialising in economics, banking, and finance. Ellie Buxton – Doctoral researcher exploring men’s perspectives on misogyny. Ellen Lavender – Researcher whose PhD focuses on developing interventions to protect children from the negative effects of misogyny on social media.
