  • Episode featuring Sophie Morris is disappointing. She is not a dietician and much of what she says is dubious. There are many qualified dieticians that could have been given a platform on this topic

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where Violence Comes From with Bob Cullen #179
Q: What role does education and relationships with women mentors play in transforming violence trajectories?
Education and supportive female mentors provided models, guidance, and opportunities for growth, helping him reframe his self-worth and develop healthier coping strategies and goals.
Where Violence Comes From with Bob Cullen #179
Q: How do you define masculinity now, and what makes a healthy sense of self in that context?
Masculinity is about integrity, congruence, showing up for others, and reframing aggression as vulnerability; it's built through accountability within a supportive community rather than domination or violence.
Where Violence Comes From with Bob Cullen #179
Q: What happened in your life to make you go on this journey of putting violence to one side and deciding to explore it?
A combination of personal violence experience, time in prison, education, and mentors who challenged his beliefs led him to study violence, psychology, and patriarchy, and ultimately start the Success Stories Programme.
Darragh Connolly | Penis Pumps, Prostate Health and Sex After Surgery #177
Q: Is it only for post-prostatectomy, or can other men benefit from a pump?
It can benefit a wide range of men with erectile dysfunction or reduced function due to age, diabetes, spinal injury, medications, or other factors; the pump helps create an environment for engorgement and can be part of a broader strategy including exercise, lifestyle changes, and sometimes PDE5 inhibitors.
Darragh Connolly | Penis Pumps, Prostate Health and Sex After Surgery #177
Q: Can you explain what the penis pump actually does and how it helps after prostatectomy?
A penis pump creates a vacuum that engorges the penis, improving blood flow and nourishing tissues; over time, it trains the tissue and nerve endings to improve function. The device is used with lubrication and constriction rings to maintain erections for penetrative sex, and different sized rings adapt as the penis may change in size as health improves.
