We got pretty emotional on the latest #NowandMen talking to Prof Steven Roberts about his amazing life and work, which illuminates both the sexist ideas being fed to young men, and the seeds of hope in how many are challenging rigid notions of masculinity. nowandmen.net/episode/steven…

How can we as men learn to love & be vulnerable with others, and why is love a transformative social force against violence? Why do we need to decolonise gender? We discuss on the latest #NowandMen with Kopano Ratele, Prof of Psychology @StellenboschUni! nowandmen.net/episode/kopano…

What a joy to speak to feminist legend Cynthia Enloe for #NowandMen! Cynthia is a ray of inspiration and wisdom amidst times of militarisation and war. How can we nurture feminist curiosity and resist the permeation of patriarchal militarism in our lives? nowandmen.net/episode/cynthi…

Amidst all the public attention towards AI & the tech industry, something not being discussed nearly enough is how they are exacerbating gender inequality & violence against women. So how can we hold them to account? We discuss w/ @McGlynnClare #NowandMen: nowandmen.net/episode/clare-…

We had a barnstorming conversation with @Finn_Mackay for the latest episode of #NowandMen on why 'positive masculinity' is too limited an aspiration; the hope radical feminism offers boys & men; the UK Supreme Court's decision on 'biological women' & more! nowandmen.net/episode/finn-m…

Why do men still benefit from higher pay, status and power in the workplace? Why is the gendered division of labour so persistent, and how does it end up holding all of us back? We discuss with the brilliant @CordeliaFi13009 in episode 54 of #NowandMen! nowandmen.net/episode/patria…

With the explosion of attention towards masculinity & violence against women, many men are asking themselves: what can I do to be part of the solution? @jacksontkatz has much guidance about how to face our fears & show positive leadership among boys & men: nowandmen.net/episode/every-…

I've seen few men talk as passionately & insightfully about ending men's violence as @tarang_chawla, so it was a privilege to speak to him on #NowandMen about Australia's gender-based violence crisis, and reaching out to boys & men in all their diversity: nowandmen.net/episode/tarang…

How can we make sense of the backlash against gender equality? Who is pushing the 'anti-gender' movement & how is it exploiting the insecurities of men and boys? And how can we respond in this critical moment? @ilbarrani shares vital insights on #NowandMen nowandmen.net/episode/backla…

What's the role of masculinity in harms against animals & the environment, like climate change? And how does caring for the world around us offer a positive alternative for boys & men? For our 50th episode of #NowandMen, we discuss with Dr Cassie Pedersen! nowandmen.net/episode/care-f…

@the_daily_panda @DomStich @ChapsChoir @FellowsBellow @ArtsUnimelb @CRiVADurham Honourable mention for Oxford choir leader Philip Read (philipread.net), and his wonderful Man Choir and awesome mixed choir Best Sing Since Sliced Bread, who put us in touch with @DomStich for this great episode of #NowandMen .

The #NowandMen Christmas Special is out today, on men's experience of community choirs! 🎄 We talk to @DomStich, founder of @ChapsChoir & @fellowsbellow, about getting men involved, the impact choirs can have, how they subvert masculine norms, & more! 🎶 now-and-men.captivate.fm/episode/mens-c…

Why do many men struggle to build close friendships with other men? What impact does it have & how does it lead many of us to rely on women to support us through 'mankeeping'? In the new episode of #NowandMen we discuss with @angeliferrara (@Clayman_Inst)! now-and-men.captivate.fm/episode/mankee…

We have a 'US election special' #NowandMen out today, with longstanding profeminist activist Rob Okun! From men's rising support for abortion rights to sensitive leaders like Tim Walz, is a 'new masculinity' emerging in the face of Trump/Vance's misogyny? now-and-men.captivate.fm/episode/rob-ok…

The latest episode of #NowandMen is out today! We speak to @proftinamiller about her research on gender & caregiving. How is parenting intensifying? Why is it still so unequal? How can we help men take up more care work? What are refugee dads' experiences? now-and-men.captivate.fm/episode/parent…
