One of the best things I heard on the radio in the last year was the BBC's MACHO MEN two-part series. It's an unusual approach - two presenters, one female, from Mexico, and one male, from Nigeria, work together to explore the stereotypes and realities of Macho Men in their respective cultures. The male presenter is himself a bit of a macho man, and has to come to terms with the way he and his friends treat women. The resulting stories are very personal, but they also explore quite bit about each culture. I don't know that I've heard these "presenters" anywhere else on the BBC, but I would be interested to know how these very personal projects changed the way they were seen (or heard) by the audience. It's great readio - check it out - you can stream it or get a podcast.
