108: Radically Genuine w/ Dr. Roger McFilln (@DrMcFillin)
If any of you listened to the trailer I dropped a couple weeks ago, for We Met Online: Season 2, you might recognize the voice of today’s guest, Dr Roger McFillin. Or you might recognize it from his own show, The Radically Genuine Podcast, which ranks in the top 2% of downloads worldwide Dr. McFillin is a clinical psychologist and a writer, who devoted his 20 year career to providing care for adults and adolescents struggling with depression, eating disorders, PTSD, and suicidal behavior, and has also become deeply disillusioned with the mental health system in this country, particularly its connection the pharmaceutical industry, which has led to what he believes is the rampant overprescription of ineffective — and often dangerous — psychotropic drugs. Sit back and listen as we discuss incels, loneliness, the mental health system, some pretty dark secrets about pharmaceuticals, and even a bit about my own firsthand experiences of late! "Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)" by Dramarama. 1985. Courtesy of Chameleon Records.

107: The Transmaxxing Manifesto w/ Vintologi
Today’s episode is with Vintologi, the founder of the eponymous "religion" and author of the Transmaxxing Manifesto. It was recorded in July of 2021 if certain references are out of date. It was certainly interesting to revisit after my recent episode with Tina, on The TRANSMaxxing Redux episode.

106: Another British Criminologist w/ Christopher Lowe
After a very brief TL;DR of this whole sordid business that's been ruining my life for the better part of a year, we dive into an interview with... another British criminologist... named Christopher Lowe (@ChrisLowe1994), who's working on his masters and focusing on incels. It's a lovely conversation that I'm sure you'll enjoy!

Here’s the second half of my conversation with Tonic! If you haven’t listened to the first part, please go back and check it out, for more of his life story and a history of incel spaces, to lead into some deeper and darker waters about Elliott Rodger, r/IncelTear, macabre poasting, and the experience of having one's words transformed into art.

103: Incel without Hate, w/ Tonic - Part 1
Today’s episode is a true return-to-form to very early days of the pod, as Tonic and I discuss the very early days of the community — long-gone places like love shy, r/incelswithouthate, r/askanincel and r/ inceltears. We also talk about the ER manifesto, the need for an affirmative incel identity, manipulative documentarians, the redemptive promise of the arts and connection, and his insights are absolutely brilliant. Part 1 of 2. "Change the World" by Eric Clapton. 1996. The Orchard Music.

101: TRANSMAXXING Redux w/ Tina (@llamatoTina)
Tina (@LlamatoTina) is a 23 year old transwoman from Germany - a former associate of Vintologi, the Swedish author of the eponymous Transmaxxing Manifesto. She is a transmaxxer qua transmaxxer, who endorses transitioning for all sorts of reasons besides gender dysphoria, including "personal gain" and escaping inceldom. But her own story is much more complex. "Our Lips Are Sealed" by The Go-Go's. 1981. Courtesy of I.R.S. Records.

Customer Reviews
thank you naama
for being curious, extending grace, and asking questions i would be scared to ask, to people i would be afraid to engage with.
Saint Naama
We need more people like this. Society really can wash the common consensus into a single direction and those that get stuck in the side are battered. Empathy is a powerful thing. I love how she talks to these people. We’re all taught to treat people how we would want to be treated but that erodes for a lot of people. We’re all human and we would do better to remember that. Thank you Naama. You absolutely deserve 5/5 stars. I can’t stop listening to this and know you are making a positive change in these people’s lives.
Grateful
I am grateful to Naama for seeking to understand incels rather than just accepting the false mainstream narrative that we are majority hateful scary people. I and I suspect many other incels hold no hate in our hearts at all.
