We are delighted to return to you for the much-anticipated Season 2 of the Men Behaving Better podcast. In front of a packed Sugar Club in Dublin, Jarlath was joined on stage by Actor/Director/Presenter Simon Delaney, Comedian/Writer/Activist Tara Flynn, Vice President & General Manager of Walter Disney Motion Pictures Studios Ireland Trish Long and Marketing Director & Writer Finian Murphy. In this first episode of the new series, we tackle the bad habits that need to be shaken in order to move forward. Tara explains the phenomenon of 'manterrupting' (10:00) and Simon discusses parenting four boys and raising them to know how behave around girls (18:00). We also get to hear how Trish has worked with Harvey Weinstein (24:00) before Finian gives a fascinating discussion on the obsession with the gender of newborns (28:00). From considering an alternative perspective of the Harvey Weinstein case (48:00) to men's tendency towards having difficulty with not having a broad spectrum of emotions when dealing with negativity (16:00) and the impact of children copying the behaviours that the witness at home (45:00) and much more, this opening episode of the new series certainly does not disappoint!
