Show Notes

A year after Netflix’s Adolescence sparked intense debate about masculinity and the pressures shaping young men today, where has the conversation gone since? In this episode, Jasmina is joined by Holly Hewlett, VP of Content Development and Marketing Strategy at NRG, and Fergus Navaratnam-Blair, VP on NRG’s Trends and Futures team. The trio come together for a conversation about how masculinity is being portrayed, debated, and redefined across media and culture. Drawing on insights from NRG’s Hero Complex research report, they explore what continues to resonate in stories about men and boys, how the industry has responded over the past year, and why the conversation is beginning to move beyond diagnosing the problem toward a more constructive view of what male representation could look like next.
