The Spectacle Podcast: The Propaganda Behind Adolescence



Netflix’s current top show, Adolescence, is a chilling tale of a teenage boy who is accused of murdering his female classmate. The show spiked in popularity due to the underlying emphasis on larger issues — such as ‘toxic masculinity’ and violence. In this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay discuss Adolescence and how it’s being used as propaganda by the United Kingdom to further anti-toxic masculinity narratives and white male hate. Melissa also explains the importance of parent involvement with their children, as the show highlights the dangers of young kids on social media. Tune in to hear their discussion!
