Welcome to 'You are not the man you are supposed to be'  the new podcast, brought to you by The Book of Man. We are Martin Robinson and  Mark Sandford and we’re going to be using this podcast to investigate the major issues facing men today.

What is a man supposed to be today? We don’t know. But we’ll try to find out. And hopefully we’ll find some positive answers. This podcast is about new masculinity, not no masculinity.

In this episode we speak to Jason Williamson from The Sleaford Mods and Sociology Professor Dr Lisa McKenzie on whether working class voices are suppressed.
