Shame Shame Shame (This episode is more fun that it sounds!)

Hosts Chris Garbutt and Degan Davis discuss the tropes of action movies where male heroes transform shame into heroism, referencing classics like 'Rambo.' They relate this to real-life bullying and chronic shame, drawing distinctions between guilt and shame. The episode touches on the impact of bullying, the importance of friendships, and how male dynamics can either contribute to or heal shame. The hosts also explore broader societal influences and the importance of supportive male relationships. They end by hinting at an upcoming discussion on joy in masculinity for their next episode.You can buy Degan's book at Brick Books.
