With the help of guests Aisha & Mark, Tom and Mike try to define masculinity and how they feel about it. The discussion covers gender stereotypes, role models and men on magazine covers.

N.B.: This podcast episode is marked 'Explicit' due to a small amount of swearing that in context we feel was better to keep in the episode than remove or beep out.
