Yesterday he says he was honoured to be joined by his good friend Phil Surry, the founder of Man Club for this week’s podcast. He says: “Together, Phil and I explored our own experiences of brotherhood, aspects of masculinity in the 21st century, indigenous culture and ritual, and, of course – how this all fits into the sacred space that is Man Club Guernsey and Alderney.
