Beautiful Man

Gentle Man ·

2023/05/20

Today's episode tackles the vulnerable and complex topic of men's relationship with beauty and aesthetics. Men are encouraged away from aesthetic pursuits and towards concretely productive pursuits. This focus denies many men from experiencing beauty, or feeling beautiful.

Gentle Man ·

2021/05/11

This episode goes into what is missing from the cultural dialogue about what men need – missing not from the conversation entirely, but underrepresented by the main information outlets. With the advent of generations of young men growing up in the 21st century who feel the world doesn't have a place for them, a number of personalities and organizations are capitalizing on the trend to recruit from among these men. Organizations such as the Alt Right, and people such as Jordan Peterson, Ben

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black American man, was murdered in Minneapolis by Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old white police officer. This murder spurred huge riots, brought a resurgence to the Black Lives Matter movement, and was one of the more galvanizing events of the COVID era.

The Dangers of 'Man Enough'

Gentle Man ·

2019/07/22

We hear it our whole lives – "If only you were man enough." This damaging phrase is at the heart of a lot of compensating – and ultimately harmful – behaviors that men exhibit. The suggestion that manhood can somehow be measured is as hurtful as it is ridiculous. It results in men who push themselves too hard, disregard their own needs and desires, and sometimes end up hurting others in the process. Let's dive into 'man enough' and see what's really there. And in case you

2019/06/16

Keep it together, man! This is a common line we recognize from movies and popular culture. This week we explore how men are expected to be "the rock" in their work and personal relationships and keep it together. Many men feel a crushing pressure to perform at work and in their home lives. There may be no part of their lives where they feel comfortable letting go, or letting it all hang out. Today's show gives us permission to collapse every once in a while. To let the pressure off.
