Australia is famous for its blokey blokes and strong, silent types. But few men fit the lazy stereotype of being obsessed with beer, babes and balls. In ‘What Men Really Think About...’, we slide behind the stereotypes to take an honest, emotionally frank and often humorous look at the issues men face in contemporary Australia. Join us – and get to the meat of the matter – with our handpicked selection of high profile men, exploring a series of topics guaranteed to make you think, laugh ... and cry.
Presented by Kim Farrant, with Joel Bowden, Jared Osborne and more.
