Over the last couple of years the term Toxic Masculinity has sprung into our consciousness and vernacular, but what does it actually mean? In this episode Mal and Rich attempt to unpick this term, trying to see if they can understand where it came from and what it means for men, boys and society to have this label of toxic masculinity. They question what are men being asked to confront, and change, about themselves through this label, and they also don't shy away from asking the question is this label fair? 

Join Mal and Rich as they once more weave their way through the minefield of what it means to be a man today...

In this episode Mal and Rich attempt to break down what is the meaning of this often misunderstood and quite loaded word? They look at what is positive about modern masculinity and what we could do better, and also explore the difference between the term masculine and male gender. 

They also spend sometime looking at femininity from a men's perspective and the way the two intertwine. In this episode they stay away from the topic of 'toxic masculinity'.... Saving it for its own 30 mins in the next episode! 

In this first episode Rich and Mal introduce themselves and their concept around Man Reimagined. 

Like any first episode they seek to draw you in with wisdom, insight, and humour, of which sometimes they succeed and sometimes they show themselves to be just what they are: Two middle aged men stumbling around blindly trying to make sense of the world.
