Temptation, theories and toxic masculinity with Charlie Georgio

Temptation, theories and toxic masculinity with Charlie Georgio

Author: Taylor James August 17, 2023 Duration: 52:01

Joining me for a waffle is one of my new favourite people Charlie Georgio


Charlie is an actor, model, and singer; he also recently took part in Channel 4's brilliant new reality tv show, Tempting Fortune


If you haven't watched it, I can't recommend it enough! The competition, hosted by Paddy McGuinness, sees twelve strangers from all walks of life trek across South Africa. This sounds amazing, but dotted along the trek are some once-in-a lifetime experiences that are there to tempt even the strongest willpower.


Charlie joins me for a waffle about his time on the show, his reasons for signing up and the biggest lessons he learnt on the journey


We also have a chat about all things mental health, why it's important for men to open up about their emotions and the dangers of labelling toxic masculinity


I really hope you enjoy the episode, and please go show him some love!

Hosted by Taylor James, The Waffle Shop is built on the idea that the most meaningful talks happen when you’re just chatting about everything and nothing at the same time. This podcast lives in the space where personal stories about music, the realities of mental health, and the daily grind of adult life all intersect. It’s less about finding perfect answers and more about sharing the experience of figuring it out in your thirties, embracing the minor frustrations and small victories that define our days. Each conversation feels like sitting down with friends who aren’t afraid to be honest about the beautiful chaos of their journeys. Taylor brings in a different guest for every episode, and together they have a proper, meandering waffle-digging into past experiences, current challenges, and the odd bit of pop culture. You’ll hear genuine reflections on self-improvement, societal pressures, and the personal journals we all keep in our heads. The result is a comforting, often funny, and deeply human listen that reminds you that navigating life is a shared endeavor. Tune in for a blend of society, culture, and education, all filtered through the lens of real, unscripted conversation.
