Documentary

Geoff Norcott examines modern masculinity in this stand-up series for Radio 4, by creating the safe space of a working men's club so he can speak freely about the problems men are facing and how we might go about fixing them in a way that benefits everyone. This week, Geoff looks at the sometimes problematic phrase man up. Is it sexist, or is it just shorthand for taking some responsibility for the greater benefit? With the help of special guests Jacob Hawley and Kenny Mammarella-D'Cruz, as well as the studio audience, Geoff looks at language men need to change.
