Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/04/21

In this episode , I sit down with Chandler Stevens to explore what happens when coaching and psychology hit their limits in men's lives. We discuss embodiment, attachment, and why many men are quietly moving toward spirituality and meaning beyond self-improvement frameworks. Chandler shares how connection—to the body, to others, and to something larger—shapes resilience, direction, and integrity. We also explore why beauty, ritual, and faith-based structure can play a stabilising role in modern

2026/04/14

I'm joined by Matt Hill, former Parachute Regiment officer, martial artist, and expedition leader, to explore the deeper psychological, physical, and spiritual dimensions of modern masculinity in a world increasingly shaped by comfort, distraction, and simulation. Moving beyond surface-level ideas of adventure or self-improvement, we look at what happens when men are no longer regularly tested by real hardship—and how this affects resilience, identity, and meaning. The conversation touches on

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/04/07

In this episode, I sit down with Daniel to tackle why so many men today feel lost, anxious, and burned out. We break down how modern culture, social media, and the pursuit of instant gratification leave us disconnected from what really matters. From understanding vice and virtue, to recognizing the role of beauty, truth, and tradition in our lives, we explore practical ways to build character, resilience, and meaning. This is a conversation for men who want to live intentionally, act with

2026/03/31

I'm joined by Mahon McCann to explore the deeper psychological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of the modern attention economy. Moving beyond productivity tips, we look at what happens when our ability to focus—and choose what matters—starts to erode. The conversation touches on everything from habit formation and digital addiction to the role of values, meaning, and faith in shaping our attention. We question whether a world built to constantly capture our focus is not just a practical

I'm joined by Dr Helen again to explore the deeper cultural, psychological, and philosophical roots of declining birth rates across the modern world. Moving beyond economics and policy, they examine what happens when meaning, identity, and embodiment begin to erode in contemporary life. The discussion touches on everything from the role of religion and community, to the impact of anxiety, digital culture, and shifting social norms around relationships, sex, and family. They question whether modern

82. The War On Men - With Ryan Michler

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/03/21

I sat down with Ryan Michler, founder of the Order of Man movement and host of one of the most influential podcasts on masculinity. We explore the growing crisis facing men today - from addiction, pornography and technology dependency to the cultural narrative that increasingly paints masculinity as "toxic". Ryan shares his philosophy of the three core responsibilities of men: protect, provide and preside, and explains why sovereignty, discipline and personal responsibility are essential for modern

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/03/15

What happens when therapy stops being neutral and starts becoming political? I spoke to clinical psychologist Dr. Andrew Hartz, founder of the Open Therapy Institute, about bias in modern mental health, ideological capture in psychology, and why so many people no longer trust therapists to stay objective. We explore the emotional dysregulation behind political extremism, how identity politics affects therapy rooms, whether certain modern ideologies are actually bad for mental health, and why so many

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/03/06

This week I'm joined by GS Youngblood to explore what healthy masculinity actually looks like in modern relationships. We get into masculine–feminine polarity, why so many men get stuck between "nice guy" passivity and hyper-masculine posturing, and what real relational leadership means in practice. We unpack his three-part blueprint: respond instead of react, provide structure, and create emotional safety. We look at co-regulation, communication breakdowns, financial and physical safety, and why

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/02/28

Joining me is icon carver and Symbolic World founder Jonathan Pageau for one of the most wide-ranging and provocative conversations on the podcast. From the meaning crisis to the collapse of the post-World War II consensus, from transhumanism to embodiment, from nationalism to online culture - this is a deep dive into what is happening to the West. We explore: why modernity delivered everything it promised - and still left people depressed, the Jordan Peterson "meaning crisis" moment - and what

78. Why Modern Men Need To Meditate On Death - With...

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/02/22

Cheerful one today… we're talking about death - and why avoiding it quietly destroys meaning. Modern culture is weirdly death-phobic: we hide the elderly, sanitise grief, and obsess over staying youthful. But every major tradition (Stoicism, Buddhism, existential philosophy) keeps coming back to one message: remember death - and you'll live better. I explores why contemplating mortality gives you perspective, clarifies your values, and pushes you towards what actually matters: relationships,

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/02/15

Is philosophy still relevant - or is it just abstract talk for academics? I sit down with Stelios Panagiotou to explore why philosophy might be more urgent now than ever - especially for young men navigating the modern meaning crisis. We discuss: why philosophy is a double-edged sword, the collapse of beauty; truth and goodness; virtue ethics in a post-Christian age; the dangers of shallow belonging and virtue signalling; why aesthetics may be winning the culture war; how to practise virtue rather

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/02/07

I'm joined by Shirzad Chamine, creator of Positive Intelligence, to explore what it really means to learn in difficult times. We talk about fear-based "saboteur" patterns, why toxic positivity makes things worse, and how negative emotions can be useful signals rather than flaws to suppress. We look at trauma as something all humans experience on a spectrum, how post-traumatic growth actually works, and why compassion must come before reframing. We also explore religion, secular belief systems,

I'm joined again by philosopher and writer Benedict Beckeld for a wide-ranging conversation on oikophobia, Western self-loathing, and what it means for culture, psychology, and masculinity today. We explore how post–World War II guilt has shaped Western identity, why healthy nationalism has become taboo, and how boundaries matter at every level, from nations to individuals. We talk about masculinity, self-care, and why strength, discipline, and responsibility are increasingly framed as dangerous or

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/01/16

Most people fail to beat addiction because they're solving the wrong problem. After 19 years sober and decades working with men stuck in compulsive behaviours, I've seen why willpower, mindset hacks, and "just stop" advice rarely work. Addiction isn't a personal weakness - it's a response to a disconnected, hyper-stimulating world. In this podcast, I explain why modern culture creates addiction by design, why treating it as a purely psychological issue fails, and what actually leads to lasting

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2026/01/12

For this week's podcast, I break down what discipline actually is in a world built to addict you - ultra-processed food, endless scrolling, gaming, porn, and constant distraction. You'll learn why discipline is really about self-respect, attention control, stress regulation, and identity, plus why environment and social pressure matter more than "trying harder". We also cover the spiritual layer: temptation, values, and why willpower alone eventually collapses. If you keep doing the thing you

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/12/23

Dr Helen Machen-Pearce and I explore what real confidence actually is and why so much of what we call confidence collapses the moment it meets reality. We talk about the difference between confidence and competence, and why untested confidence often looks loud, brittle, or performative. We look at how confidence lives in the nervous system, not just the mind, and how embodiment practices like centering, grounding, strength, movement, and relaxation shape how we show up. We explore gender, class,

With countless young men feeling lost because their past, present, and future have been stolen. I break down the four spiritual disconnections - body, community, spirit, and land - that are destroying modern masculinity. Here are some actionable steps to reconnect, find hope, and win the spiritual war for your soul. It's time to wake up. In the second half of the podcast I explain how I spent ten years completely lost - drifting, numbing myself, sabotaging my own potential - all because I couldn't

In this episode I chat with Ranko Cerić in Zagreb to explore how economics, trauma and identity shape the Balkans and the rest of Europe today. We look at how Yugoslavia fell apart, why ordinary people can be pushed into fear and extremism, and how current migration and cost-of-living pressures are creating similar tensions in the West. We also get into land, belonging and the dysregulation that comes with cultural dislocation. A grounded, honest conversation about what really drives division - and

In this episode I sit down with historian and YouTuber Rudyard William Lynch for one of the densest and most fascinating cultural deep dives I have had in a long while. We look at the big question of where the West is in its historical cycle and why so many people sense that something is coming apart. Rudyard explains why today mirrors the late Roman Republic and how wealth, inequality, decadence and the loss of shared belief systems create predictable patterns across history. We explore cultural

Feral Philosophy Podcast ·

2025/11/20

What if everything you've been told about masculinity is a lie? I break down how governments, corporations, and even social movements manipulate the concept of masculinity to serve their own interests. From ancient warrior virtues to modern consumer culture, we explore how "being a real man" has been redefined to control behavior not empower it. And in the second half of the podcast I expose the five biggest lies that modern society feeds men about what will make them happy: money, pleasure,
