Inbetween Man
An immersive audio series about the dreamscape of modern masculinity, for the perplexed gent - and anyone who knows one.
The world our fathers and grandfathers grew up in has gone. The old model of masculinity is dead. But what does the new model look like? Man men are trying to work this out.
Most men aren’t Man 1.0. But they’re not quite Man 2.0, either. They’re somewhere in-between, muddling along, doing their best. This series is about what that’s like. It’s about the new demands – and the old sticking points. It’s about the new freedoms – and the old insecurities.
Written and narrated by Max Dickins (comedian; author of Billy No Mates) with original sound design by Rich Le Gate, Inbetween Man is an irreverent, thought-provoking guide to modern manhood.
