    The Current

    Three stories to expand your worldview, delivered daily. Matt Galloway cuts through a sea of choice to bring you stories that transcend the news cycle. Conversations with big thinkers, household names, and people living the news. An antidote to algorithms that cater to what you already know — and a meeting place for diverse perspectives. In its 20 years, the Current has become a go-to place for stories that shape and entertain us. Released daily, Monday to Friday.

    The Current is produced in Toronto, Ontario, Canada — and has recently recorded live shows about the Canadian election in Surrey and Burnaby BC. And shows to come in Oshawa and the 905, Red Deer, Alberta, Quebec City and Halifax.

    Andrew Tate's web of abuse Jun 25, 2026
    Show notes

    Andrew Tate built an empire based on the idea of female subjugation and hyper masculinity. His message to men, particularly young men, is that they are victims of a feminized society.


    Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania in 2022, along with his brother Tristan, for human trafficking. He's also accused of sexual assaulting multiple women — and is facing investigations in Romania, the United Kingdom and the United States.


    Heidi Blake is an investigative reporter at the New Yorker and recently wrote a detailed and deeply reported story titled "Andrew Tate’s Empire of Abuse." She joins us to talk about how Andrew Tate built a business based on abuse, the charges he's facing, and Andrew Tate's influence on the MAGA movement.

Then, poll analyst Philippe Fournier gives a reality check about movement's strength among young people and the Quebec public at large — and how the Parti Quebecois promise to hold a referendum within four years could play into the upcoming fall election.
