New THAT GUY podcast
The new THAT GUY podcast will feature 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 across five episodes to find out.
By exploring topics like football, 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. Also available on the usual platforms including Apple podcasts.
Episodes will be promoted on the That Guy social media channels.
