S1E04 | Has Chivalry Fallen on its Sword? With Damien Anthony Rossi Mr Hollywood in Oz, charismatic media personality

Join Jodie and Damien Anthony Rossi as we discuss etiquette superpowers, masculinity in manners and the other “C word”. 

Are people born good? Or do they have goodness thrust upon them? Whilst we tend to not wake up in the morning with the goal to be rude to people, some of us are guilty of ghosting that one person you don’t want to speak to at the supermarket... Whilst we can assume that the majority of us are trying our best to be polite, what about chivalry? As society’s understanding of Gender expands, is there still a place for chivalry in a post #metoo world? Or is it well and truly dead?
