Tickling the Void

Shauny Boy sits down to commiserate about xmas, moan about pumpkin spiced lattes, and share the insights he's gained by starting a podcast that aimed to get him out of his existential hole of dread and misery.

PHD researcher Gavin Brewis talks to us about his work on Neds and systemic violence as well as class and young men and social media.
