A series of live, in-conversation events led by Darren McGarvey, BAFTA award-winning broadcaster and acclaimed author. Joined by a range of guests, he explores how men learn masculinity, perform it under pressure and respond when it begins to fail. Moving beyond slogans and surface debate, these conversations examine behaviour, identity, relationships and change without reducing men to heroes or villains. Expect sharp analysis, honest reflection and moments of discomfort. This is not about moral posturing or easy answers, but about understanding what shapes male behaviour – and what it might take for it to shift.
