Who We Are Now with Izzy & Richard Hammond

Spencer Matthews on lad culture, harnessing anger and the social media trap

This week on Who We Are Now with Richard and Izzy Hammond, they ask the question, should we ever be angry? And can it be harnessed to move us to a better place? Joined by "last of the lads" Spencer Matthews, they discuss feeling everything vs. feeling nothing, the dangers and traps of social media, and whether anger is ever a useful tool.

In 2006 Richard Hammond broke his brain. The high-speed jet-powered car he was piloting crashed at 319mph… and the thing that stopped the car from rolling? That was his head. Richard’s been on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth ever since, and now, he’s on a mission to demystify and destigmatise conversations around masculinity, mental health, and the issues that affect us all, in a bid to discover who we are now. Joined by his co-pilot and grown-up daughter Izzy, they’ll dive into the worlds of mid-life crisis’, what makes a modern man, how to raise daughters, and even question what it means to be a little shorter than average... Join Richard, Izzy and Dr Jim, as they try to figure out Who We Are Now.
