New THAT GUY podcast
The new THAT GUY podcast features frank conversations about the attitudes and behaviours that put men at risk of doing something they will regret and women at risk of sexual violence.
Speaking up and stepping in really matters, but men often don’t realise how powerful their words and actions can be.
What can guys do to help?
Host Ally Heather speaks to a range of guests to find out.
By exploring topics like fitness, social media, and relationships, Ally learns how guys can make a positive difference and find ways to be a better man.
You can find the podcast on the That Guy YouTube channel and Spotify page.
Episodes
Masculinity and misogyny
Ally Heather speaks to youth worker Iain Corbett about healthy masculinity. Iain runs prison workshops with the aim of inspiring change in young men.
What does it mean to be a man? That’s a question lots of guys are asking themselves these days and many are looking for answers in the online manosphere, where dangerous misogyny puts women and men at risk.
Social media and life online
Ally Heather talks to Scottish comedian James Garnder about life online.
James talks about going viral on TikTok, dating in the digital age, why “alpha male” influencers on social media are the perfect target for comedy, predators in the comedy industry, and why the way some guys behave on the internet would be ridiculous in real life.
The impact of sexual crime
Ally Heather speaks to Detective Inspector Danny Clark from Police Scotland.
No men want the women in their lives to be a victim of sexual crime or for a mate to end up on the register or in prison. But the number of reported rapes and sexual crimes in Scotland continues to increase.
Sexual crimes happen far too often and are committed by all sorts of men from all sorts of backgrounds. The impact is massive and life-changing for everyone involved.
Ally Heather speaks to Danny to learn about that impact and how we can help stop sexual offending before it starts.
Fitness and the gym
Ally Heather talks to Personal Trainers Will Grieve and Iona Paterson.
Will and Iona talk about why men and women can have different experiences in the gym, how some trainers can abuse their position, the red flag behaviours to look out for, the impact of steroids on male behaviour, and how you can help create a positive and welcoming space.
