The Respondent

by Greg Ellis

In 2020 Greg Ellis set out on a journey to explore the condition of the male experience via a new video and podcast series, The Respondent. The Respondent is a multimedia conversation on positive masculinity; a whodunnit, in which Greg—as both lead detective and key perpetrator—works to track down the co-conspirators of men’s demise and the secrets to their reclamation. It’s also an exploration of how becoming a modern man today demands we reimagine masculinity, rethink fatherhood and revitalize our image of family. Season one guests include experts, educators, and celebrity Respondents discussing agitating topics including family, philosophy, fatherhood, psychology, politics, family law, pop culture, entertainment, and much more... gregellis.substack.com
