Keir Starmer: Grief, A Distant Father, a...

BAUER MEDIA
About this episode

For Men’s Mental Health Month, Pete went to Downing Street for a very special one-off episode to interview the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Luckily for Pete, they did let him through that iconic black door to put a few questions to the man in charge of running the country.  

The bad language may be gone, but Pete’s Big One is here to stay, and Sir Keir opened up about his role models, challenging relationship with his dad, how he’s doing things differently with his own children, and what really makes him angry.  

Maybe you voted for him, and maybe you didn’t - but either way, this isn’t an ordinary interview with the prime minister so give it a listen and enjoy. 

Man Made will be returning for a second series in the new year, but while you wait we’d love you to join in the conversation, to do so follow @manmadepod on Instagram & TikTok.
