Kingston, Jamaica – October 12, 2009: “Real Man Things”, a vibrant, exciting radio show that deals expressly with men’s issues, is set to take the local media landscape by storm when it debuts in October. This will be the first radio programme that speaks specifically to male related issues.
The new show will seek to go beyond masculine posturing and bravado to engage Jamaican men, at home and throughout the Diaspora, in honest conversation about the challenges they face as they struggle to cope in a society where they are becoming increasingly marginalised.
The interactive programme is aiming to stimulate a new way of thinking among Jamaican men by promoting frank, mature and responsible discussion about male related issues.
