So why isn't this more of a conversation? In this episode, Kingsley and Israel sit down with special guest Malakai Larry King to talk loneliness, manhood, cultural narratives, and friendships. Why aren't men talking about their loneliness? How should men think about and process their emotions? What's the place of friendship in all this? This is a conversation worth everyone's time: whether you're a man or not, and whether you struggle with loneliness or not. Join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #BlackBereaPodS4.
