Men's issues on ICRfm
08.06.09
ICRfm will this week
begin a new six-part documentary series charting the
changing role of men in society in the last 50
years.
‘From Brylcreem to Beckham’ is produced by Cathal
Monaghan who engaged with various support agencies
and community organisations working with and
supporting men in varying roles in the North West.
The six shows will highlight issues including: men
and personal care; the changing role of the father;
how things have changed for gay people in the last
fifty years; male violence; male suicide and
recreation.
It highlights how the changes in society and
lifestyles have brought different changes although
not all useful or healthy. |

'From Brylcream to
Beckham kicks off on Inishowen Community Radio on
Wednesday, June 10 at 9.00am and will be repeated
that evening at 7.00pm. The series will run for five
weeks thereafter exploring different themes - from
the more light-hearted such as men’s fashion and
personal appearance to more gritty topics such as
the rise in young male suicide. It will feature
interviews with local men and women spanning a
number of generations. |

The series producer
promises "a fascinating insight into Irish life in
the last five decades".
"The more skills, knowledge and understanding you
can offer someone to deal with life’s difficulties,
the greater the chance for significant and life-long
change in the person’s life," said Cathal, who
thanked ICRfm's Trudy McLaughlin for her help in
editing the series.
Cathal Monaghan has worked in the community sector
for many years and has trained in conflict
