In this profound episode, Alex Renton, an investigative journalist, unravels what he describes as the disturbing truths hidden within Britain's elite boarding school system.
Sharing his personal journey and cover-ups he uncovered, Alex sheds light on what he sees as the darker aspects of these prestigious institutions. He discusses the crucial need for early disclosure and intervention to mitigate the lasting scars of abuse.
Throughout the conversation, Alex explores how in his view boarding schools not only perpetuate class apartheid and British exceptionalism but also widen the chasm between the elite and the broader society.
And how this divide fosters a culture of denial and disconnection from the harsh realities faced by most people.
The discussion also critiques the wider failures of the British education system and the urgent need for substantial reforms.
Tune in to hear Alex Renton's compelling insights on overcoming the shadows of the past and advocating for a future where education uplifts rather than oppresses.

Dr Erica Komisar is a clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, parent coach, and author with 30 years of experience. Erica is also a sought-after psychological consultant, bringing her expertise to clinics, schools, and corporations like Goldman Sachs.
Erica has written two highly influential books on parenting and is a media mainstay, appearing on CBS, ABC, FOX, and contributing to top publications like the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. She's also a Contributing Editor at the Institute for Family Studies.
I asked Erica on because I was enamoured by her points of view on parenting. They seemed to stem from a place of common sense in what can be a confusing picture in the modern day.
So - it is fair to say that speaking with Erica was a special experience, she doesn’t hold back and I’m grateful for her plain speaking.

Richard, a Brit-American, studied at Oxford University and Warwick University, laying a solid foundation for his serving as director of strategy to the UK’s Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg.
After a this experience Richard moved to the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, where he still serves as a non-resident senior fellow.

In short - it delves deeply into the challenges facing modern males.
In 2023, Richard founded the American Institute for Boys and Men and serves as its president. The institute stands as a beacon for raising awareness and finding effective solutions to the issues plaguing boys and men in society.
Speaking to the oracle of boys and men data was a mind blowing experience and I am sure you will find listening to Richard fascinating.
