Ever wondered why blokes these days seem lonelier than a post-laundry sock? Join Elliott and Joeli for this episode tackling the growing issue of male loneliness and the curious case of the disappearing close friendship. We'll also touch on the joys (and occasional woes) of parenting boys, and why broadening their understanding of success and emotional intelligence is vital.

Our expert, Max Dickins, will take us on a ride through thedynamics of male friendships, the pressures women face when their partners lack mates, and the skills needed to nurture lasting relationships.

From the difference between those online connections and the good old face-to-face connections, to the importance of diverse friendships for emotional support and general well-being, Max has got us covered.
