triple j + Reach Out present Man Week: Are you man enough? (To talk about how you feel.) This week!
Make sure you tune into triple j and jump on to our blog and forum to continue the conversation this week!
Listen to Hack – explore Man Week issues then join the discussion on our forum
Each night from 5.30 – 6.00pm triple j’s Hack program will be exploring a Man-related issue – anything from the alpha male profile and sexuality to 'bromance' and girls’ gossip. There’s something for everyone.
Following the show each night from 6 - 7pm AEST, special guests from Hack will jump onto the Reach Out forum, aka the ROtreat forums, and discuss the Man issues raised in the show that night. This is your opportunity to ask the questions and explore the issues you’re interested in – don’t miss out.

Reply Reportin my early years [like most men] i was there in the middle of the testosterone trip,looking back now it seems that nature and nurture may be more of an influence,with testosterone waiting for release to push the attitude along.years ago there wasnt violence in sport,athletes didnt hit eachother,all our leaders have been latent psychopaths,why shouldnt this filter down to thoes of us [men] who have the strength,attitude and male hormones to push it all out of control,

Reply Reporti didnt know were to put this - so thought i would put it here.. Im just watching the Footy Show - and well being a bunch of blokes they are talking about the Melb Club dude who has cancer and talking total passionate about it - I just thought it was really inspiring watching this - watching men talk about an issue and the bloke who has cancer and how they are touched by it!! its good to see that blokes on TV are having that emotional talk..

Reply ReportGo Man Week!
It is encouraging to see footy guys opening up like that - they would have to be massive role models for many young men out there, so this is a great thing :)
