In this episode we introduce you to Darren, Fraser and Robbie where they discuss body image from a male perspective, and how it feels having a different body from everyone else.

Season 3 is sponsored by the Beatson Cancer Charity Home | Beatson Cancer Charity and is recorded by Go Radio in Glasgow Go Radio | 90's 00's & Now | Number 1 for Glasgow & The West (thisisgo.co.uk)
