Men, Explain

We’ve done an episode on friendships between opposite genders. However, the lines do get blurred when one or either party gets into a relationship. Should friendship change with your relationship status? In this episode, we invite 2 besties, Atiqa and Khair, to dissect further on situations people find themselves in when managing their partners and best friends.

People often advise against starting a business with friends or dating within the workplace. But is it really all that bad?

But should that always be the case? See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Are we still using phrases like “gu niang,” or “man up” as insults in today’s context? As a society, most of us are already making large strides away from gender stereotypes but has this changed the way we raised the future generation of men at all? We invite our very own Singapore pride, Fandi Ahmad, who has literally raised 4 sons of his own, as well as his youngest son, Iryan Fandi, to discuss what it’s like to be a man today.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

The real question is - How can I embrace these curveballs in life? See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
