Conversations from #LIFI25: Richard Pomfrett
In our #LIFI25 speaker series, we hear from Richard Pomfrett, an experienced commentator on masculinity and society.
Richard joins the “Where have all the good men gone?” panel at this year’s festival, a provocative and timely discussion exploring modern masculinity, shifting gender roles, and the challenges men face in today’s world.
In this interview, Richard shares his perspective on how we talk about men, what positive masculinity looks like, and why these conversations matter for everyone. It’s a thought-provoking preview of the insights he’ll bring to the festival stage this September.
Keep following as we release more interviews with #LIFI25 speakers in the weeks ahead.
