An open, honest and urgent conversation about modern masculinity, and the value of building community and connection among boys and men. Challenging ideas emerging in the so-called ‘manosphere’, former Premier League footballer Michail Antonio and investigative journalist James Bloodworth explore how the drive for power and status isn’t helping anyone – including men themselves. They talk to writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch.
Antonio’s book Humans, Not Robots: When Elite Sport and Real Life Collide raises awareness about the mental health of players on and off the pitch. Bloodworth is author of Lost Boys: A Personal Journey Through the Manosphere, an astonishing undercover investigation into an array of paranoid and misogynistic subcultures.
