    When the word most associated with 'masculinity' is 'toxic', it's clear we have some problems. Domestic abuse has been called New Zealand's shame, and the Me Too movement has highlighted how powerful men have used their power to abuse women. In this episode, John and Glenn meet a man who has gone from abusing to helping to reform other abusive men. They also speak to Stuff's Me Too editor Alison Mau. This show contains explicit refrences to domesic abuse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    New Zealand's suicide rates paint a stark picture of men's mental health. Last year, 654 people died by suicide – 471 of those were men. Suicide is an issue which affects everyone – and it has hit close to home for John, and the schoolboy rugby team he coaches. We also meet Ezekiel Raui, who put together a mental health program as a teenager after a spate of suicides in 2012. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
