Modern Manhood: The Podcast - Bonus Episode: The Parents of Modern Manhood
play

08/30/21 • 30 min

The last few episodes of Modern Manhood has focused a lot around how young children are. So I knew to make these last few episodes we had to get a lot of the voices of parents, people who are excited to be expecting children, or are in the midst of parenting. And of course they had some amazing insights, and we got a lot of tape. So much so that we had to cut a lot of it for our main episodes, but I knew it was too good to never be revealed. So this an episode all about some of the amazing pieces of knowledge like co-parenting, online life, gay couples parenting, and the age old question, do I even want kids?

10/10/21 • 31 min

No body that I know had a good first Sex Ed talk. How did we as a society mess this up so much? How did we take a very fundamental part of human life, our sexuality, and teach it like we were scared of it. Or treat it like a side dressing when in many cases it’s the main meal. This is especially true for young men, who at about the age of 10 are starting to think about their own sexuality. We break this down with experts Shafia Zaloom and Dr David Bell.

Modern Manhood: The Podcast - "The Dress Code: Or the Policing of Young Bodies"
play

10/12/20 • 34 min

The dress code is something we have discussed before but just casually, and I just keep thinking what is the big issue with the god damn dress code, why are we spending so much time on it, and why do people have so many different opinions on it. Well let me tell you that the dress code IS a big issue, because it’s a window to how our society treats women, men, our bodies, and our decency.

Modern Manhood: The Podcast - Episode 4 - The Group Chat - Is it all toxic or is it healthy?
play

03/17/24 • 33 min

When we think of an all male group chat, does your mind wander to places of toxicity, misogyny and overall bad behavior? or does it go to a place where people find a community, where guys lift each other up, and police their language?

Well it can be both.

Let’s explore how the group chat is today’s digital third place, and how men and boys have found toxicity or a healthy community in them
