Delighted my series 'About The Boys' has been shortlisted for a @NYFestivals award. Feels very timely, after watching 'Adolescence' and chatting to @amolrajan & @RichardvReeves about masculinity for the @BBCr4today podcast. @WhistledownProd @BBCRadio4

I am glad that boys are being talked about - and in the week I enjoyed being at the launch of the Centre for Policy Research on Men and Boys, with @RichardvReeves , I was interested to see him pop up on @Scaramucci 's new podcast Lost Boys. @BBCr4today @BBCRadio4 @hughlevinson

Delighted to give @Oasis_UK a shoutout on here. Teaching children to emotionally regulate and cope with life is an amazing and important thing to invest in and. surprise. it helps them succeed at school, too. Thank you @SteveChalke for letting me see for myself. #Adolescence.
Listen at 10am this morning on Radio 4. An extremely thoughtful exploration of some of the issues around this important subject - plus find out more about Oasis’ therapeutic work with boys.

Devastating, honest and so sparely and beautifully written.

"A lovely interviewer of those unused to being interviewed." I'll take that from @msmirandasawyer in today's Observer. Thank you! Great to see @BBCRadio4 's decision to commission 3 special programmes about the anniverary of lockdown being praised.

Thank you! Strange to be taken back to 2020. good to listen to the experiences of young people and how they affected.
What’s on our radar?.🎧Lockdown Legacy - the new @BBCRadio4 series presented by @CatherineECarr. Looking at the Covid Pandemic five years on, the series examines the lasting effects on children & young people. That & more in our March newsletter:.

Must work on not waving arms around. Must also work out how to start a Youth Work and Youth Club revolution. Hmmm @SteveChalke , any ideas?!.
Adolescence has triggered a conversation about boys and masculinity. Catherine Carr, producer of Radio 4 series ‘About the Boys’, tells @amolrajan about the conversations she had with school boys from across the UK. Listen on @BBCSounds:

So interesting to talk about masculinity on the @BBCr4today podcast. I tried to emphasise that we can't think about boys in a siloed way - it is just as vital to think about girls. A shout out for youth work, too! @RichardvReeves @SteveChalke @Oasis_UK.

The mildest way to describe this show is as a ghastly artefact of a particular cultural era that recently met its apocalypse. But more on that later. To anyone who says, “It’s just meant to be fun”: bullshit.
