On the premiere episode of Incels, we dig into the phenomenon of the overly online, potentially violent group dubbed Incels — or “involuntarily celibates.” We’ll discuss the dangers of online radicalization, examine some of the major and tragic events that brought the term Incels into the public consciousness, and hear from a mother whose daughter lost her life to a violent Incel on a rampage.

Hidden deep in online forums, a growing subculture thrives on anger, isolation, and blame: incels, or “involuntary celibates.” Incels see themselves as rejected by women and overshadowed by so-called “Chads”—the confident, attractive men they believe they can never be. Their frustration often mutates into open hostility, harassment, and, in the most extreme cases, acts of violence.
Incels takes listeners inside this unsettling world—not to sensationalize it, but to understand it. Through expert analysis, first-hand accounts, and the voices of former incels, we break down how these communities operate, why they’re growing, and the psychological traps that keep men locked in cycles of resentment. With chilling stories and deep insight, Incels reveals the human cost of a culture built on hate—and the path forward for those ready to leave it behind.
