Episode notes

This is a 20 day expedition to antarctica, south georgia and the falklands in january of 20 23. The images that greet you in these remote and unspoiled places are simply overwhelming. As the minerva sails through scenic waterways, witness a breathtaking panorama of icebergs, blue glaciers and jagged snow capped mountains. See other wild life and look for mink, humpback and orka whales that frequent the icy, food rich waters of antarctica.

(nature and nurture in the making of a male) • what the political left gets wrong about boys and men • what the political right gets wrong about boys and men • solutions: red shirt boys early; men in STEM and HEAL • fatherhood as an independent institution
