UK: BBC Radio 5 live to launch Men's Hour

Article here. Excerpt:

'BBC Radio 5 live is to launch Men's Hour, an alternative to Woman's Hour aimed at the opposite gender.

Hosted by Culture Show presenter Tim Samuels, the programme will have "leading males" from sport, entertainment and politics chatting about issues that affect men.

According to the BBC, the show will bring "real candour to the challenges of relationships and life, alongside irreverent manly chatter". Louie Spence of Sky1's Pineapple Dance Studios will be a regular weekly guest.
...
Regular features will include Questions You Daren't Ask Your Doctor and Midlife Music Crisis. According to Samuels, the six-part series - which begins on 18 July - will celebrate "modern man's mix of swagger and neurosis".
...
"It's about capturing the spirit of when good mates sit around nowadays," he said.

"Amidst all the banter you can actually open up about what's on your mind without being ripped apart."'

That the show will be about trivial stuff, at least one episode about abs. The will be not more than 60 seconds of the heavy concerns of men, things that destroy us. Only vanity topics like balding, office romances, fashion, celebrities, and...did I say abs?

They should call this show "the yobbo hour".

Yet another example of mainstream medias contempt for men.

as a regular a guy from pineapple dance studios! hahahahahahhahahahahahahhaahhahahahha! you couldn't make some of this stuff up.

i couldn't even read that w/ a straight face. (did i say straight?) what's next, interviews w/ guys who really just LOVE to do hair, apply makeup and rearrange furniture?

bbc? figures. haven't had a really good show since 'Coupling". that was some funny stuff.

imagine if they advertised a wildly popular women's show with a bunch of man haters and 'butches' as the main draw. wait a minute, we already have that here in the states. in fact, we have more than one.

you brit guys do know how you are already generally perceived by a lot/most of the western male world, right?

however, the down under crowd w/ their new feminist worship mentality (open season on husbands, feminist leader, etc.)
are barking at your (high) heels. see where magnified and false use of one aspect (women first) of male chivalry takes you?
