The Binary Podcast
THE BINARY PODCAST is a conversation about gender. We explore masculinity and femininity to discover: “What does it mean to be ‘man’ or ‘woman’?” This podcast series offers a raw and authentic look at gender issues in the modern world. Your hosts on this journey of discovery are Matt and Alex. -- Note from your hosts: We recognise that gender identity is diverse. The intention of this podcast series is to promote connectedness and sharing between human beings, irrespective of their gender identity or expression of masculinity or femininity. Our lived experience is as cisgender people and our discussion reflects this. We recognise that different challenges are experienced by people who are gender non-binary. Out of respect we do not seek to speculate on what that experience might be like. -- Views are our own.
