Podcasts about german villegas

Our podbro, the illustrious German Villegas, graces our podwaves this week as we drop his episode on internet royalty from his current season of Modern Manhood, Man Vs. Machine.Remember NFTs? So many of those are worth a lot less than they were in 2023, but German questions why so many men used the internet this way and how it led to the crypto-bro.

It's our first episode of the year and we had to start it off right (Remoy doesn't think so) with a game! Your hosts are joined by the illustrious German Villegas, podbrother and host of Modern Manhood, to play our new game Paroles de Patriarchy!Samantha does a “dramatic reading” of a few songs spanning genres and eras, and German and Remoy guess what they are. But most importantly, they answer the question, are these songs masking or unmasking masculinity?German lives up to his reputation as a bonafide music-head, providing thoughtful insight about the performance of masculinity through the lens of these artists' style and personas. He also drops some important historical context around music and masculinity.How have artists subverted gender roles via music performance and did that permeate other areas of their lives as artists? The crew discusses!Samantha and German then take a deep dive into the performance of masculinity in music. Is it different from genre to genre? Are there parallels between the MASKulinity-tech influencer pipeline we talked about earlier this season and the bravado of men's musical performances? We'd love to hear what you think, so be sure to shoot us a note.Finally, German preps us for the new season of Modern Manhood, “Man Vs Machine.” Listen till the end to hear the dope trailer.Referenced on this episode:Bikini KillOne of our artist picks opens up about mental health"I Made My ADHD Into My Strength": Understanding The Link Between Rap & NeurodivergenceCash's masculine vulnerabilityThe Beastie Boys' Feminist EvolutionOne of our picks helped mainstream male emotionCOMPANION PIECES:A Man's World?

MASK is BACK! We're excited to kick off the new season of MASKulinity. It's a little different this time around. First off, we're now supported by Next Gen Men, your friendly neighborhood healthy masculinity organization based in Canada. Shout-out to them for doing the work to transform how the world sees and acts on masculinity.Remoy has also been living under a rock, writing, reading, traveling and staying the hell out of the news cycle. So each week, Samantha will put him up on game about all things news, pop culture, sports and more, working to try and make sense of this maskulinity thing. This episode they discuss #girlmath and #boymath, and healthy masculinity nemesis Andrew Tate!Our hosts are joined by podbro German Villegas, Next Gen Men board member and host of Modern Manhood,  on our post-COVID premiere to go further in depth into this masked collusion between influence and tech and how that's informing his next season of the pod.Previous episodes mentioned:The Racial Hierarchy of MASKulinity, with Dr. Liu - Part 1The Racial Hierarchy of MASKulinity - with Dr. Liu, Part 2

If you grew up in the 90s Adam Sandler probably had a large influence on your sense of humour. He likely did not have a large influence on you as an eventual parent, however. While Big Daddy was certainly a more "mature" turn for Sandler at the time, his childish instincts prevented it from being a really touching comedy about fatherhood. Speaking of fatherhood, German Villegas of the Modern Manhood podcast joins us this week. The entire upcoming season of Modern Manhood is all about child development, which put Big Daddy right in German's big damn wheelhouse. Together we try to add some stronger comedic structure to the film while also analyzing Sonny Kaufax's style as a father.

***content warning for conversations regarding sexual violence throughout the episode***German Villeagas and Veronika Ilich from the Modern Manhood podcast's Cold Takes join me to discuss Emerald Fennell's much-praised rape-revenge thriller Promising Young Woman starring Carrey Mulligan.

Not sure if the episode is The Greatest One or German Villegas from Modern Manhood Podcast is. Take a listen and find out! German is here to give his perspective on Don Cherry's firing, Colin Kaepernick, and TV! I had to give him a break after some pretty heavy topics! Wayne Gretzky's number was 99. I LOVED Wayne Gretzky when he played with the Oilers in the 80's. I wore black for a week after he was traded to LA. Literally. I wore black all week. So 99 always make me think of Wayne and the hay-days of hockey. tightendspodcast.com This episode is brought to you by: ATB.com Alberta Podcast Network Marvel: Universe of Superheroes Seat Giant (use code apn)

The seat thumps as you drop heavily into your chair, stretching out your popcorn and cola in front of you to counter balance your descent. You smile as the lights dim and the projector fires up, “I’ve been waiting for this movie for months” you sputter through a mouthful of popcorn. The opening theme rumbles “Here we go!” And… It’s not that good. Maybe it was the pacing, maybe it was a scene that needed to be deleted or added, or maybe it was Batman v Superman. “It wasn’t awful” you think to yourself as you leave the theatre “I wonder what they could’ve changed to fix it?” Glad you said that, because we’ve often wondered that ourselves. What if the Man of Steel wasn’t such a Man of Heel? What if Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull left out all the monkeys? What if Prometheus made even just the smallest bit of sense? Just a tiny bit?! Each month on I Have Some Notes self proclaimed Movie Experts™ Liam Creswick, Gregg Beever and Scott C. Bourgeois take a movie that sucked, but had potential, and put it through a vigorous podcasting notes process to try to turn it into a blockbuster. Are we always successful? Probably!

Today’s conversation is with German Villegas. German is a Social Change Accelerator, host of the Modern Manhood podcast, is a Man at Large at Next Gen Men in Edmonton. German is a Chilean immigrant who moved to Edmonton, Canada in 1988. He noticed a gap between the discussion about gender roles, and how men have been thinking and talking about it, so he set out to create Modern Manhood, a podcast about healthy masculinities and the roles they play in society through interviews, the podcast has been shortlisted for a Community Award in 2016 and has included guests from three different continents. German’s main life has included being a youth worker and mental health advocate for 6 years and working primarily with young boys in creating healthy relationship skills. He also has worked with men in co-facilitating group therapy and psychoeducational work with men who have abused, and men who identify that they need help. But German also loves talking podcasts, 2000 era garage rock music, and the education system. He describes himself as someone always trying to lean in to ambiguity, and flexing his empathy muscles. In this episode we talk about: Turning gender equity into a community conversation Masculinity in Alberta and around the world The role of empathy in gender equity Multiple Masculinities Gender in the workplace The role of youth in helping us reach gender equity More on German and his work Next Gen Men: https://nextgenmen.ca/our-team/ Modern Manhood: https://modernmanhood.org Other links from this episode: Youtube video with elementary school teacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fayKPhZzrMI Raewyn Connell, formally RW Connell, and her book "Masculinities": http://www.raewynconnell.net/p/masculinities_20.html C.J.

On this episode, we highlight the work of two local feminists to understand why they do what they do. First we hear from German Villegas, the host of the Modern Manhood Podcast, about why he thinks it’s important for men to organize conversations about masculinity and empathy. Then we hear from Theresa Whiskeyjack, who helped […]

  I have been thinking a lot about the EDU bubble. Not just the challenges that are created by it or the frustrations that arise from it, but also the composition of it. Honestly, it is way too easy to call out the competitive agendas that exist inside and outside the bubble...but what of the actual bubble? What is it really made of? Its not surprising to me that I have started to look at the stories that emerge from the surface tension on the bubble. The spirit of Chasing Squirrels has always pursued the curious stories  about the relationship between educator and system - more and more the convos have started to include the challenges of creating EDU spaces with the community included as a fully participating role. And I have begun to appreciate the little bits of source code that are being written and rewritten there. The colocation of essential services that could support learning is one sample of the new thinking that is popping in the dialogue between systems. German Villegas is the human behind the ModernManhood Podcast and he exists directly in that space 'between'. He spends his time working with youth and males in a human service capacity and supports conversations with men about their masculinity and what it means to be a modern man. I knew that this convo would tie in with the action on the bubble and would definitely illuminate some of the necessary work that needs to be done with many of the modern learners that I interact with on the daily.

When you think of intelligence, what are the first words that come to mind?  Maybe a high IQ or aptitude for the math and sciences? Why is it that for many of us things like emotional intelligence, empathy and compassion don’t make it to the top of that list? In this episode we chat with German Villegas, Health and Futures Coach, Mental Health Advocate and Podcast Host for the show “Modern Manhood.” We discuss ideas of gender identity in the workforce and some of the career opportunities you might not have considered. You can find more about German at his website   https://modernmanhood.org/ In the show we also discuss the organization Men Edmonton http://www.menedmonton.org/ Oilers fan?

German Villegas from Modern Manhood returns to take on the macho cultural touchstone that is Top Gun. We attempt to find a better way for Tom Cruise to graduate from flight school, hopefully without being smarmy, grinning douche. Gregg and Scott are also on the flight deck, while up in the control tower resuming his hosting duties is Colin "Grouse" MacIntyre! Can Top Gun be Top Fun? These and other terrible jokes this week on I Have Some Notes, members of the Alberta Podcast Network powered by ATB.

Fellow Alberta Podcast Network member German Villegas of Modern Manhood joins us for a chat about the torrent of sexual assault allegations spilling out of Hollywood and how masculinity is portrayed in movies. Yes, it's a bit less of the light-hearted affair you're used to when tuning into I Have Some Note, but we promise it's a fascinating listen and German provides some great insights. Besides, it would be weird to be doing a movie podcast and not acknowledge the depressing dumpster fire that is the entertainment industry. Also, we welcome back Colin to the hosting chair!

The guys are joined by German Villegas from the Modern Manhood Podcast (modernmanhood.org) In this episode we talk about the state of masculinity in hockey, especially in the NHL. How does the way that a person views manliness impact their view on violence, injures, sexuality and more. Modern Manhood is a podcast that mostly concentrates on the lives and viewpoints of many different male voices talking about their own masculinity. The biggest problem we have as males is that we don't talk about our own experiences and problems about our own manhood; and that being a man now looks a lot different that it used to be, or that we think it is.

Here we have another of our patented, massive introductions of our guest German Villages, but did Chris get the research right? Oops. German hosts the amazing Modern Manhood Podcast, a show that examines male mental health and masculinity. He also has a show with some friends about hockey, Your Team Sucks. The discussion in this episode covers being vulnerable males, fronting about your Red Sox fandom, finding your tribe, challenging stereotypes and the subversion in satire. A book not recommended by any voice on the podcast, The Game. German says Mark Manson’s book Models changed his life. Weird coincidence, Chris was reading Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck. German was a guest on The Awesome Hour. Is Millwoods Edmonton’s Bermuda triangle? German’s introspection led him to Iron John and The Art of Manliness. Not finding exactly what he wanted, he created his podcast. Paul & German school us on the art of satire in South Park. There’s a difference between adding to a conversation and exploiting it for shock like Milo Yiannopoulos. German encourages people to look at the research of Joseph Gelfer when we talk about masculinity and manhood. There are no stupid questions and we just need to be open. Chris is reminded of an article he worked on, “In The Netherlands Sexuality Education Starts At Age 4”. That’s just part one of our conversation with the empathetic and intelligent host of The Modern Manhood Podcast, German Villegas. As you wait for part two, check out his podcast with the link above or head over to German’s Patreon page and help out. It’s a great show with conversations we need at the moment.

Meet Elliott Tanti and Michael Vecchio, two friends who started sparring about politics for fun and decided to turn their frequent debates into the Highlevel Showdown podcast. Highlevel Showdown started in the Tory Building at the University of Alberta, where Elliott and Michael found themselves engaging in political discussions that spilled over onto the LRT on the way home. Elliott had done a podcast called What's Up UAlberta, and it felt natural to capture the conversations they were already having. A terrific politics podcast was born. In this episode, you'll hear how the show has changed over the past two years; how kitchen-table debates prepared them for political argument; how to prepare for a structured but vibrant discussion; what opera, wrestling and politics have in common; how the show benefits from Elliott's campaign experience and Michael's historical knowledge; the coming municipal election; and how to make a podcast with a friend. This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. Michael and Elliott made the following recommendations: NewsWired, a discussion of current events distributed on Guerrilla Radio; The Modern Manhood Podcast, German Villegas's interview show exploring different facets of masculinity; The Broadcast, the show about women and politics in Alberta with Alex Zabjek and Trisha Estabrooks; daveberta, Dave Cournoyer's long-running blog about politics in Alberta; The Casual, Nate Villegas's podcast about forgotten flicks. You can also read Michael's thoughts on movies and pop culture at Before the Cyborgs, and you can hear Elliott's thoughts on sports from time to time on Hat Trick Sports. They are also on Twitter: @tanti90 and @michaelvecchio2. You can also follow the Highlevel Showdown on Twitter and Facebook, and find it on iTunes and Guerrilla Radio. Michael and Elliott are kind enough to shout out to the Seen and Heard Podcast Network. Stay tuned for some exciting network news in the coming weeks.   The next episode of Seen and Heard in Edmonton will be delayed by a week — watch for it on May 8.

Meet Lauren Dary, an Edmonton photographer and one-half of the team behind That’s So Maven, a podcast by, for and about female entrepreneurs. Lauren and her co-host, Andrea Beça, discovered in a series of texts that they had both been thinking about starting a podcast. Then they discovered they were both interested in focusing on women in business. Kismet. Off they went. At first they thought it would be bi-weekly, but when they started building their list of potential guests, it was quickly more than a year long. So now they have a weekly interview show, talking to a female entrepreneur about how she got into business, what she has learned, and what it's really — and I mean really — like to be the boss. In this episode, you'll hear why Lauren chose to podcast instead of blog; why she and Andrea decided to start tying the podcast more closely to their businesses; how the show has helped her find customers and collaborators; how she has refined her own online presence; and how the podcast has become a crash course in entrepreneurship that can literally make her crash (in a good way). This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. Lauren made these recommendations: Linda Hoang's blog, linda-hoang.com, which focuses on fun things to do in Edmonton; The Modern Manhood Podcast, German Villegas's podcast on the many facets of masculinity; Capital Ideas, a community of business owners helping business owners by sharing what they know, at live events, online and in a podcast. Speaking of Capital Ideas, Lauren and Andrea will be on the panel at the live show on March 22, along with Bryan Smith of Bluetrain Inc., for an event called "Squirrel! The elusive art of finding your focus." Get your free tickets here.  I host that show, so yes, this is log-rolling, but what can I say? It's a good log. That's So Maven is on iTunes, and you can follow @yegmavens on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Find L Photography at lphoto.ca, and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. (And since we're talking about podcasts, you're invited to the next Edmonton Podcasting Meetup on March 26. Open to podcasters and listeners alike.) This week's Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Taproot Edmonton, a source of curiosity-driven stories about the city, cultivated by the community.

Our January meetup was billed as a debate between Taylor Chadwick of What It Is against Andrea Beça of That's So Maven on how long a podcast should be. "Debate" turned out to be a bit of a strong term. As Taylor says at one point, "it sounds like we're just going to agree the whole time." I accept responsibility. Everyone's just so nice. They do come from different points of view on what works for the length of their own shows. The sweet spot for What It Is — an arts interview show that Taylor does with Chris Cook and Brian Bergum — is 70 minutes. That's So Maven — a show for, by and about female entrepreneurs that Andrea does with Lauren Dary — is about half an hour. Both have sound reasons for that, which you'll hear in the podcast, along with the following points: How your content and format dictate length; How the growth of podcasting has made shorter shows more common; Audience feedback on length and what to do with it; Batch recording vs time-sensitive recording; Preparation vs editing for controlling length. You'll also hear questions and comments from Troy Pavlek of Basket of Yegs, Brandon Schatz of Yegs and Bacon and Doctor Whooch, Nick McQuik of The Quik and Slow Comedy Show, and Chris Chang-Yen Phillips of Let's Find Out. Incidentally, I usually like to keep my podcast to less than half an hour, but this one was so full of good stuff that it's pushing 50 minutes. I guess you win this round,Taylor.  This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. For even more on the art of podcasting, listen to Taylor's conversation with Andrea along with Adam Rozenhart of The Expats and German Villegas of The Modern Manhood Podcast. Many thanks to Edmonton Opera for sending one of our audience members to Cinderella (remember that Elektra is coming in March!). Thanks to Variant Edition for their hospitality, and to CafeRista for the treats. Shout-out to Edmojis, too.  Our next Edmonton Podcasting Meetup is on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Variant Edition. The topic is "How to get started, Part 2," and we'll be drawing on the experience of the team behind The Broadcast, which was in development at our first meetup on getting started, and is now a real thing. Register to attend here. This episode of Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Castria, where award-winning podcasters help you take your podcast from idea to reality. Castria's Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky will be on a panel about podcasting at iMedia on March 11. If you miss them there, find them at wearecastria.com.

This week’s podcast features the audio from our October meetup with Kelly Froese of the Edmonton Nerd List and Jeff Williams of Guerrilla Radio. Kelly and Jeff have each devised ways to shine a spotlight on local creators and ventures. As you know, that is pretty much my favourite thing, so I brought them together and called it "how to reach your audience," because one of the ways to do that is to get noticed by one of these cross-promotion sites. You can also derive some lessons for how they have built their own audiences. In our conversation, you'll hear: The wildly different origin stories of the Edmonton Nerd List and Guerrilla Radio (one was an accident, one was on purpose); How and why they have grown; How each brings in revenue and what they've learned about monetizing; What impresses them about the local podcast scene; How to spread your podcast via guests; How to get listed on the Nerd List or join Guerrilla Radio; Future plans for each. They mentioned a few local producers, including the Shessels at Northern Nerdcast, Vue Weekly's Best of Edmonton podcast winner The Awesome Hour, and Nintendo Dads, a well-known podcast with an Edmonton connection. You'll also hear a great question from German Villegas of The Modern Manhood Podcast. Follow the Edmonton Nerd List on Twitter, like it on Facebook and subscribe to the YouTube channel. You can also support the list on Patreon. Follow Guerrilla Radio on Twitter and Instagram, like it on Facebook, subscribe to the feed of every show on iTunes or find it on SoundCloud. There's also an app (iOS and Android). Audio from our November meetup will be up in January, and that's when we're planning to resume our meetups at Variant Edition. Join the Edmonton Podcasting Meetup page to get the details when they're available. This episode of Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Castria, where award-winning podcasters help you make your podcast. You'll hear Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky talk about what they can do for you in this episode, and you're also hearing their handiwork, as they produced and edited this episode.

Meet German Villegas,  a youth worker who conducts interviews about healthy masculinity on The Modern Manhood Podcast and jaws about hockey with his buddies on Your Team Sucks. German has been interested in podcasting for awhile, and had a music one that didn't go anywhere. Hockey turned out to be more fruitful terrain for a lively debate, hence Your Team Sucks, where fans of three different teams chirp each other and discuss various hockey-related happenings. That's where I first became aware of German. Your Team Sucks is fun, but it's clear that German's deeper passion lies in The Modern Manhood Podcast, which he started this year to initiate conversations between men about being men. In the course of his work, German has observed that men often have trouble talking about their vulnerabilities, and he wanted to create a safe and empathetic space to do so. The podcast is affiliated with Men Edmonton,  a movement to empower men to speak out against violence and to take on positive roles. It is most certainly not affiliated with "men's rights activists." The Modern Manhood Podcast is a feminism-friendly place.  German made these interesting recommendations: Michael Cameron's blog at passionpridepurpose.com; YEG People, especially the one with Blake Loates and her We All Believe In You project  Linda Hoang's food and lifestyle blog at linda-hoang.com Megan McCormick's Mastering Health The Modern Manhood Podcast is on iTunes, on Facebook, and on Twitter (@modernmanpod). It also has a GoFundMe campaign to help German further his work. Your Team Sucks is on iTunes, on Facebook, and on Twitter (@ytsshow). German himself is on Twitter, too: @germanNOTgerman. And if you ever get an opportunity to talk to him in real life, do it. He is such a joyful person. This episode was one of several recorded at the Makerspace at the downtown Edmonton Public Library on 100in1Day. Watch for more conversations captured that day in the coming weeks.   This week’s Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Taproot Edmonton, a new member-supported home for local stories created with the community and not just for it. Mack Male explains the origins of the name and why the stories are free but membership isn't in this episode.
