Join Gus Worland, The Honourable Julian Leeser and as well as a panel of experts and other guest interviews this Saturday 12th November between 12 noon and 3pm on TripleH 100.1fm.

The International Men’s day Website calls for
- Improving Relations between men and women
- Addressing the problems and Challenges men face
- Promoting gender equality
- Highlighting positive male role models
- Creating a safer, better world
We hope what you will find is a show that touches on all those things and takes them all deeper to show we don’t’ just want a better we want true, real, honest, which means we sometimes have to be raw and vulnerable. As you can see there are many services that can support in this process.
Here are the links to all the individual interviews as well as the panel discussion! They are featured in order of transmission.
