  • Latest Pod -Stephen Murray

    The conversations around men's issues are crucial and much-needed in today's society. It's refreshing to hear men openly discussing topics that are often stigmatised or ignored. I appreciate the diverse range of guests and perspectives, and I always come away with new insights and a deeper understanding of these important issues. I highly recommend this podcast and hope to see more episodes in the future.

    Insightful conversations that make you think mixed with great banter. Hugh’s got a real talent for it as a presenter. He listens, lets his guests complete their thoughts and then follows up with questions that draw more out of them. Keep up the great work.

    Great podcast. Hugh is a brilliant interviewer and has a good variety of guests. Interesting and humourless content. Well worth a follow/listen.

  • Not for me.

    Had to turn it off after about 20 minutes. Host as flexible as a brick. I don’t have to agree with everything you say but if you pick your points without seeing a bigger picture then as a veteran and podcast host you must have lived under a rock for the last 20 odd years. Wishing them all the best with the show and life but definitely not for me.
