Spencer Kobren discusses the importance and reality of coming to terms with hair loss and speaks with callers who share their struggles and triumphs in dealing with this devastating, yet manageable disease of the spirit.
The term “politically correct” began taking on steam in the early 1990’s, and referred to the use of language that would cause any demographic, such as social or cultural groups, to feel diminished, offended or excluded. Unfortunately, when it comes to male body shaming, society doesn’t afford men the same protection of political correctness as it does for women. As a matter of fact, male pattern baldness and other male body concerns are openly mocked by the mainstream media and by woman of all social, cultural and economic backgrounds.
Check out what Spencer Kobren and TBT callers have to say about this disturbing, and for many, distressing societal double standard.
UK hair product giant, Fudge, gave hair loss sufferers a big nod last month by taking on TBT-UK contributor Spencer (Spex) Stevenson as the brand’s online hair loss guru. In a world dominated by twenty-something female publicists and out of touch corporate marketing departments, someone at Fudge gets it! Catering to the 20% of men who begin losing their hair by the age of 21 and the 2/3rds who have noticeably thinning hair by age 35 is a brilliant strategic move for the company, probably even more brilliant than the brand realizes at this point.
"Spencer Kobren's nationally syndicated show "The Bald Truth" has a dedicated listenership that would have Rush Limbaugh pulling his hair out in envy." --Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
