S2 E2: Angry Middle-Aged White Men
Geoff examines modern masculinity, with the help of his audience in Leeds. This week he asks, why are middle-aged white men so angry online?
This week, Geoff looks at the 鈥渁ngry middle-aged white men鈥� that Gary Neville identified as the source of all division within the UK. Is that fair? If so, why are they angry? And could there be both a deeper reason for their anger and also a better outlet for it?
As ever, these serious points are intercut with 鈥渕anly hypotheticals鈥�, the sort of question men ask each other to avoid talking about stuff that matters, like - if you鈥檙e drinking non-alcoholic beer, are you still obliged to buy a round?
