About this listen

What kind of men were the Tragically Hip? They were for decades the seminal Canadian rock & roll band.

Degan and Chris explore masculinity and personal growth through the lens of the documentary "Long Time Running," which chronicles the Hip's final tour.

As fans of the band, they delve into the significance of the Hip's music, band dynamics, and the persona of lead singer Gord Downie. They reflect on the themes of vulnerability, masculine identity, and emotional connection that permeate The Tragically Hip's legacy.

That last tour, especially the nationally televised final concert in Kingston, ON, was a moment of shared grief for Canada, and we couldn't have asked for better guys to represent us.

Watch "Long Time Running" on CBC Gem.

We would love to hear from you! Email Chris or Degan if you have any comments or suggestions!

Our cover art was poorly designed by Chris, our theme music was brilliantly composed and performed by Degan. What Kind of Man Are You is a production of VQC Media.
