  • Relatable and compassionate.

    No interrupting, no putting words into his guests mouths just a host that gives his guests a security and feeling of support. It’s not about Pete it’s all about his companion and that is an amazing skill. He allows their vulnerability to come out and they can express emotions they have been unable to release. Well done Pete you have a gift and you use it wisely. 👏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Russell T Davies: Grief, Division and the Rise of Online Anger
Q: What does being a man in 2026 look like to you?
Davies expresses that there isn't one fixed definition of manhood; identity is diverse and ever-changing, and he emphasizes the importance of listening over simple categorization while recognizing that language and labels often fail to capture the full spectrum of individual experience.
Lorraine Kelly: Naughty Knickers, Emotional Learning and Lessons from my Father
Q: Lorraine, how would you describe your relationship with masculinity?
She describes herself as treating everyone the same and valuing curiosity and education, while recognizing that traditional masculinity can be limiting and that openness about emotions is increasingly important.
Tyler West: The Night That Changed Everything
Q: What do you think makes a good man?
The guest suggests that there are many valid answers that can change over time, but a common thread is not giving up and learning to feel and process emotions rather than hiding from them.
Fran Kirby: Football Wasn’t Enough
Q: When you took a break from football, what did you learn about yourself?
Taking time away helped her learn to be comfortable alone, understand her values, and realize that she could still be fulfilled outside the sport, which ultimately strengthened her career and personal life.
Fran Kirby: Football Wasn’t Enough
Q: How did the loss of your mum influence your football career and your emotional life?
The loss radically changed her outlook, driving periods of darkness and questions about continuing in the sport; she eventually found motivation through her mum's sacrifices, rebuilt her identity, and returned to football with a renewed sense of purpose.
