Understanding Men

  • Resumen

  • Understanding Men is a podcast that challenges expectations around traditional masculinity and explores difficult subjects in the hopes of creating a safe space for men to be vulnerable.

    The hosts, Luke Sutton and Fraser Franks, both ex-professional sportsmen, have spoken openly about their own experiences with addiction, alcoholism, poor physical health, and poor mental health. Now they're sharing their stories in the hopes that they'll inspire listeners to do the same within their own relationships.

    Every week, Luke and Fraser will explore subjects that they feel men rarely make time to talk about. Insecurities, relationships, ego, expectations, fears and mistakes - nothing is off the table...

  • Life After Death
    Sep 22 2024

    In the latest episode of Understanding Men, Luke and Fraser discuss the oft-avoided subject of death. Critiquing the differing ways we confront death, and how we often don't talk about it, despite it's inevitability, the guys try to break down why it provokes such strong emotion.


    They look at death from both sides, from the death of oneself to the loss of a family member, and share how their attitude towards their own existence has changed over time.


    Reflecting on losses in their own lives, they discuss the power of legacy, and how they wish to ensure their message and values continue to live on even in their absence. Following this, they also talk about the importance of finding reason when a person passes before their time.

  • Taking Responsibility
    Sep 15 2024

    In the newest episode of Understanding Men, Luke and Fraser take a long hard look at responsibility, and highlight the significance it has had in their own lives, especially through recovery. Taking responsibility is a key pillar of the 12 step recovery programme which both Luke and Fraser have undertaken, and regular listeners may be familiar with the question that they both ask of themselves; 'What's my part in this?'


    They discuss how resentment, honesty and responsibility can be closely tied, and share how holding on to resentment can allow someone to not understand the part they have played in their own discomfort or upset.


    Finally, they touch on the power of taking responsibility in sport, and using it as an opportunity to address and improve upon existing weaknesses to become an all around better performing athlete.

  • What is Love?
    Sep 8 2024

    In the latest episode of Understanding Men, Luke and Fraser ask, 'What is love?' Reflecting on their lives, they discuss their experiences of love, and share how love has changed for them over time. They dissect the portrayal of love online and in the media, and highlight how they believe it may stray from the most authentic definitions and depictions of love.


    Addressing the importance of self love in their lives, they highlight the impact that self development has had upon their lives, and how it has played an important part in them meeting their current partners. While they both agree that being able and ready to give love is key, they emphasise that feeling worthy of receiving love can be significant in establishing a healthy relationship.


    Finally, they look at the purity of love, that we especially demonstrate in childhood, and highlight that true love doesn't show prejudice or come with any external conditions.
