Male Contraception
Episode 3
Monday, 18 January, 2021

This episode is all about THE BOYS. Here at The Lowdown we spend a lot of time talking to women and experts about The Pill, the coil and the injection. But this time we wanted to deep dive into a topic so many people ask us about - male contraception. This episode looks at who’s making them, how methods like the Male Contraceptive gel work, and why it’s taken so long to get us to this point. Alice talks to Dr John Renolds-Wright - a Clinical Research Fellow who is currently conducting trials on the male contraceptive gel at the University of Edinburgh. We also hear from Logan Nickels and Kevin Shane from The Male Contraceptive Initiative - which is a non-profit based in North Carolina, focussed on moving male contraception forward.
