i was thinking last night about how sad it is that the main content out there for our young men to consume is basically reactionary dumbasses interviewing celebs or athletes or whatever. i was thinking it would be cool if a podcast existed that was just like regular dudes and getting their thoughts on masculinity, the family, relationships etc

the types of topics young men might be interested in and look to their fathers for guidance but not everyone has that, or some fathers are shitheads

is there anything like that out there? and if not would anyone be interested in recording some interviews and seeing if its any good?

i was thinking about trying to come up with like 3-4 questions to start as a template to ask everyone then following the conversation and seeing where it goes from there

i also just had a high abv beer and have adhd so i might never follow up on this lol

      My post wasn't aimed at you, comrade. I think asking for resources as a comrade to improve socializing as a man is great! (I see your pronouns, from your OP I'm assuming you identify as a man, please let me know if I'm wrong and I'll change immediately)

      I unfortunately think there are no such resources that I've found. I think reading feminist theory and attempting to "look in the mirror" simultaneously is a difficult, rigorous, but very fruitful exercise with similar results. But that's not what you're searching for, and I get that.

      I'd love to have a wholesome "here's what good dad's should be like" podcast to listen to. Or some more totally anti-misogynistic chats between guys talking about life generally. I was hoping to find it in your thread too!
