b"This episode is a difficult one. We're talking about Incels, a term that refers to the involuntarily celibate. You've probably heard of them, as some of them have made headlines carrying out high-profile acts of violence. This is an internet community with some overlap with other online communities of (primarily) disgruntled men. But the Incels have a particular way of escalating that disgruntled attitude to more and more dangerous places. We talk about the community, some of its causes, and possible venues for change. This isn't an easy discussion, but we think it's one worth having."
