Podcasts about Masculinity

Andrew grew up in the shadow of his older brothers and disconnected from his father. Paired with early pornography exposure, he developed an incomplete and insecure understanding of his masculinity, which manifested in same-sex attractions. However, several key events, including some important risks, helped him better understand his God-given masculinity and sexuality -- to the point where he's now happily married with children and helping others with their sexual brokenness.

This week, Jake and Bob welcome Dr. John Bishop, founder of FORGE, to continue their series on healing in men. John shares his perspective on why so many men today lack a clear picture of what it means to be a good man. He begins with the story of Adam, uncovering God's original design for masculinity—one rooted in work, responsibility, and the courage to engage in the world and the people entrusted to him. From there, he describes the wounds men experience from Adam's fall: fear, shame, and the tendency for men to withdraw, hide, or dominate rather than love. Yet, with Jesus Christ as a model, whose life and sacrifice reveal the true strength of a man, they reflect on how men can recover a living image of faithful, engaged, and restored masculinity.   Key Points: There is a widespread struggle to engage men in the life of the Church. A central problem facing men today is the lack of a clear and compelling picture of what it means to be a good man. Without strong masculine examples in families, churches, and schools, many men turn to cultural voices that offer distorted visions of masculinity. Adam is the first image of authentic masculinity and reveals a masculine inclination towards responsibility and stewardship. The Fall reveals a core masculine temptation: disengagement, as Adam remains passive when evil enters the garden. Fear and shame often drive men to withdraw emotionally or hide behind work, distractions, or performance. True masculinity requires engagement with both the external world and the interior life of relationships. Jesus Christ, the New Adam, reveals the ultimate image of masculinity through sacrificial love and radical trust in the Father. Fathers ultimately help their sons become men by guiding them toward the deeper truth that their identity is rooted in being beloved sons of God.   Resources: John's Ministry: Forge New Adam: God's Plan for Men by Dr. John Bishop   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 07:22 Seeing Our Identity as Son, Brother, Bridegroom, and Father 12:17 What's Going On with Men in Our Current Age? 25:07 Adam: The First Image of Masculinity 35:44 Engaging with the World as a Man 47:38 Learning to Trust the Creator of the Universe   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Most of us can't stand small talk. It's shallow. It's repetitive. But in this culture, it's also absolutely necessary. Have you ever realized we have one set of canned lines we deliver to people we know when we see them? But there are also completely different things we've grown accustomed to saying to people we don't know. I'll give you the absolute clearest example in this brief episode. When we approach and meet women, is there really a clear set of "small talk" guidelines? The answer will surprise you...along with the subtle change to how society tends to work nowadays in general. Did you know that VAMANOS is the everyday carry for "Big Four" men? Getchasum at https://vamanos.chat === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extremely effective...and actionable. It's all built on the "Big Four": Confidence, Masculinity, Liking Women, and Good Character. Better men get better women.

"A thing that I learned from the men's weekend was how important it is to serve something higher than yourself" A man doesn't become strong in isolation—he becomes strong through standards, accountability, and purpose. Masculinity, at its core, is not about surface-level success but about how a man shows up for others, serves something greater than himself, and surrounds himself with men who challenge him to grow. Without that structure, men drift. With it, they sharpen each other, develop resilience, and build lives rooted in meaning rather than ego. Tim Spellman shares how early experiences shaped his mindset around gratitude, responsibility, and leadership. From lessons passed down through family to the transformative impact of men's groups, Tim highlights the power of being called out, supported, and reminded of who you are. His journey into leadership training shows how men evolve when they shift from self-focus to service, and how real growth happens when men hold each other to higher standards. Tim is a leadership trainer and long-time contributor to men's development through the Sterling Institute. With decades of experience in leadership, community building, and transformational work, he now trains men to lead with integrity, purpose, and accountability while fostering strong, connected male communities.

Do you have a "third place?"A place separate from home, separate from work, where you can know other men and be known?Third places promote real conversations, repeated interaction, and sustained relationships. More than just somewhere you can go to see a familiar face and make small talk, a third place is an intentional environment that calls you higher while providing essential community. Join the conversation as JT and Anthony talk about a third place JT has been building over the past 6 months.So men: Will you take the initiative to be a part of a group, or will you take on the responsibility of building one?CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rose Bao is a canine behaviourist, counsellor, and coach, guided by fear-free principles and a deep respect for the emotional lives and agency of dogs and their humans. Her practice is collaborative and evidence-based, grounded in years of hands-on work across shelter rehabilitation, group classes, and private consultation, and shaped by the influence of her first dog, Bruno.She holds a first-class honours degree in biomedical engineering, with specialty focus on chronic pain, and is completing a master's in clinical animal behaviour at the University of Edinburgh. Her research interests lie in anthrozoology, with a particular focus on how agency, power, and identity intersect in dog training cultures. Drawing on her queer Australian-Chinese identity and performance practice in gender-bending burlesque, Rose contributes an intersectional social science voice to animal behaviour, situating the lived realities of dogs and their people within broader cultural and political contexts.Recent essays include Masculinity, Control, and Colonial Inheritance in 21st Century Dog Training Cultures and Anthropocentrism and the Digital Gaze in Human–Dog Interactions.With a blend of empathy, curiosity, and clinical insight, Rose seeks to reimagine dog training as a space where the agency of both dogs and humans is recognised, negotiated, and celebrated.Valli Fraser-Celin, PhD is an advocate for humane, fear/force-free dog training; she primarily shares her advocacy work through her Instagram account (@thelivesofwilddogs), where she documents life with her dogs, Husk and Sully, while promoting evidence-based approaches to canine welfare and training. Valli holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Guelph, where her doctoral research focused on human–African wild dog conflict and conservation in Botswana. She then completed postdoctoral research in Community Health Sciences at the University of Calgary, where she explored the roles of dogs in Indigenous communities across Canada. Since 2018, she has been working in the equitable access to veterinary care field, primarily in remote, Northern communities across Canada.Her scholarship has examined themes of animal agency and subjectivity, contributing to broader conversations on how human–animal relationships shape both animal welfare and community well-being. She continues to bring this perspective into her applied advocacy, emphasizing the importance of recognizing animals as sentient beings with their own experiences and needs. Through her combined academic background and hands-on experience with companion dogs, Valli bridges the gap between research and everyday practice, working to shift perspectives on how humans understand, care for, and coexist with dogs.Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute advice or professional services by either the host nor any of the guests. Thank you for listening to the Enlightened Pet Behavior Podcast.

Dr. McDonald shares his perspective as a psychiatrist on how prolonged fear messaging, social pressure, and institutional narratives have influenced behavior, relationships, and individual autonomy. The discussion touches on the psychological impact of recent global events and what it means to live with integrity when cultural pressures push in the opposite direction. The conversation challenges listeners to think critically about courage, responsibility, and the role individuals play in restoring common sense and moral conviction in their families and communities. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why courage is a foundational virtue in both medicine and society The psychological effects of prolonged fear messaging How cultural narratives influence individual behavior and belief systems The role masculinity plays in leadership, protection, and responsibility Why questioning authority has become socially difficult The importance of moral clarity in chaotic cultural moments How individuals can reclaim agency and personal responsibility Key Takeaways Courage is not simply bravery in crisis — it is the willingness to speak truth when social pressure demands silence. Fear can be a powerful tool of social control when amplified by institutions and media. Cultural confusion around identity and responsibility can erode common sense decision-making. Strong families and communities depend on individuals willing to stand for principles even when it is uncomfortable. Restoring common sense begins with individuals reclaiming personal responsibility and moral courage. About Dr. Mark McDonald Dr. Mark McDonald is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in both child/adolescent and adult psychiatry, with additional training in psychoanalysis.

Patrick Bet-David and Scott Galloway debate why young men are shifting politically and whether culture, parenting, or technology is driving rising anxiety. They discuss role models, Jonathan Haidt's research, social media's impact, and why many boys feel lost in modern society.

 On this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller dive headfirst into the Trump administration's approach to Iran—and the deeper worldview shaping it. They examine the escalating conflict, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and the administration's apparent failure to anticipate Iran's most obvious leverage point. But beyond the geopolitics, Brad and Dan argue that something larger is at play: a model of “MAGA masculinity” that prizes action over thought, rejects expertise, and treats diplomacy and long-term relationships as weakness. From Pete Hegseth's press conferences to the firing of intelligence experts and counter-terrorism staff, they trace how a culture that glorifies brute force and disdain for knowledge can produce catastrophic decision-making—with real human costs. In the second half of the show, the conversation turns to newly released depositions from former DOGE officials tasked with slashing federal grants. The clips reveal young operatives with little expertise making sweeping cuts based largely on whether projects referenced feminism, LGBTQ people, or racial minorities—raising serious questions about the real meaning behind the administration's war on “DEI.” Brad and Dan connect these revelations back to their broader theme: a governing philosophy rooted in domination, resentment, and the rejection of intellectual or moral accountability. They close by asking whether the Iran conflict could fracture the MAGA coalition ahead of the midterms—and by reflecting on what healthier forms of masculinity, leadership, and public responsibility might look like in contrast.

Co-Host Sanya Bari (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sanya) My first time guest Sanya Bari is a relationship therapist and emotional clarity expert...which given she's from New Jersey means she's in high demand. She asked a dangerous question: What keeps men from thriving? To get the show rolling, Sanya riffs away on what her findings were. So what is the difference between merely surviving and thriving? What is the real "drug" that keeps us from being our best selves? (Hint: It's not booze or ganja.) What about being "locked in" to a project or goal? Is that a good or a bad thing? If you "survive" effectively enough, others may actually give you accolades for it. But what's the danger behind that mindset? Why does Sanya believe that most guys really don't even realize when they're slipping into "survival mode"? And how to we recover from that and get ourselves back? How do we handle seeing everyone else's "highlight reels" on Facebook knowing that we're NOT okay? How do the mixed messages we as men get about emotions and logic affect us...especially in our relationships with women? What is the habit nearly everyone in Western culture has gotten into nowadays that represents the exact opposite of thriving...yet people seem to like it that way? Next, the surprising truth about how failure to thrive may indeed be passed on generationally. How do you break that cycle? When it comes to relationships with women, how do we keep entering into relationships with women that exhaust us and hold us back rather than helping us thrive?

In this episode, Ellie sits down with Dr. John Arns to discuss what it really takes to build lasting health. Together they explore the concept of the “Triad of Health”—structural, chemical, and emotional balance—and why all three are essential for men who want to feel strong, focused, and resilient. Dr. Arns shares how alignment of the spine and nervous system affects overall function, why nutritional foundations matter more than ever in today's world, and how emotional health and stress management influence everything from energy to recovery. The conversation also dives into the importance of vision—how having a clear purpose in life can guide healthier decisions and help people stay the course even when life becomes challenging. This episode offers a practical framework for men who want to take ownership of their health and live with strength, clarity, and purpose.

Pete Hegseth's résumé maps the trajectory of a man who failed upward from Fox News host to Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense. As Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court hearings proved, sexual assault allegations are rarely a roadblock to a powerful job in the Trump administration. In fact, Donald Trump has consistently rewarded Hegseth for years of documented bad behavior—from financial mismanagement of veterans organizations to the relentless promotion of toxic masculinity.Hegseth presents himself as the prototypical "man's man," seemingly more invested in a pull-up challenge with a shirtless Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. than with abiding by the rules of war or the gravity of the Pentagon.This week, Kill the Computer podcaster June Sternbach joins Katelyn and Christine to unpack Pete Hegseth's pathetic masculinity complex. We dissect how mainstream media sanitized his record, and how rewarding his fragile masculinity both reflects and reinforces the darkest corners of U.S. political culture.

Why are men so lonely? For me, it wasn't the lack of friends or people around me. It was more about spending years performing and ultimately, not liking myself. In this video, I gently break down the real reasons men feel lonely, disconnected, and like they don't truly belong even when they're surrounded by people.If you've ever felt out of place in your own life, struggled with anxiety and feeling a sense of not belonging, I know it feels hard, I get it. What we cover:The root cause of male loneliness most men never talk aboutHow childhood conditioning forces men to suppress emotions and wear a maskWhy performing "masculinity" keeps men isolated and disconnectedHow to stop people pleasing and start knowing who you actually areThe simple exercise to reconnect with yourself and start feeling wholeMen and loneliness. Men and emotions. Male identity. Masculinity and mental health. These aren't separate topics — they're all pointing at the same thing: most men were never taught to know themselves.That's what this channel is about changing.Chapters0:00 Would you buy yourself a beer?1:05 My story with depression and loneliness1:50 How we're conditioned to perform as men4:06 All we really want is to belong6:28 Why performing causes loneliness8:48 Befriending yourself12:45 The bar exercise14:52 Stop comparing.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== There's so much shop-worn dating advice out there we've heard SO often that I swear we don't even realize there's anything wrong with it. Example...have you ever noticed that virtually all tips on approaching women, meeting them and interacting women them assume a playful, happy-go-lucky, flirty woman as a given? The only other frame of mind we consider possible in that scenario is disgust and anger...directed at the guy approaching her! But that's just not how life works, is it? There are perfectly sane, decent women out there who will not be at their best when it's time to meet them and interact with them. They could be women you're just meeting, or long-time acquaintances. But either way, interacting them is an opportunity we should absolutely not avoid. Here's why...and this could revolutionize your approach out there.

Welcome back, loves!The male gaze didn't begin with film, it was already centuries old by the time cameras appeared. In this episode, I trace how powerful patrons, religious institutions and elite collectors shaped beauty standards through the paintings they commissioned. From reclining Venuses to carefully staged portraits, these images didn't just depict women, they trained viewers how to look at them. But when women finally entered the art world and began painting themselves and each other, the visual language started to shift.By the end of the episode, you may never look at a painting, a movie scene, or even your own camera roll quite the same way again.Are.

Young men around the country are turning to religion for clues on what it means to be masculine. One Arizona pastor has a controversial answer. Plus, how some Native American tribes have been able to get their ancestral lands back.

One of the slang terms you might hear male teenagers use these days is “homiesexual.” We all know that a homie is someone who is a close friend. The term homiesexual can be used in a variety of ways, and it's always helpful to ask just what a person means when they say it. One of the most common definitions applies the term to male friendships that are deep and intimate in emotional ways. Sometimes these friendships defy traditional masculine gender roles, as the homies hug and cuddle without any homosexual feelings or inclinations. In other contexts, the term could refer to a homosexual attraction to or relationship with someone who is a friend. It's always a good thing to ask for clarification when the term is used because of the full spectrum of meanings. We are reminded once again of our need to dig into God's Word to help our kids come to an understanding of the gender binary, and the purpose and place of sex, which is in the context of a heterosexual, monogamous, covenantal marriage.

What if the version of strength most men were handed is quietly breaking them?In this deep and honest conversation, Brandon Clift interviews Trey Tucker, founder of Rugged Counseling and author of Tough Enough, a book written specifically for men in their twenties who feel stuck, drifting, or disconnected.Trey opens up about the sudden death of his father and how he navigated grief without shutting down emotionally. He shares the unconventional approach he used to process loss and how it shaped his model of therapy today.Together, they explore:• Why many men struggle with grief • The biological differences in how men and women process stress • Why traditional therapy can leave men stuck in awareness without action • The rise of red pill culture and why it initially feels empowering • Why Gen Z men are increasingly unmotivated at work • The dangerous trend of “playing it safe” • The need for mentorship and modern rites of passage • Why men need vision, accountability, and action • The difference between repression and strengthTrey argues that masculinity itself is not the problem. Misguided expression is.Instead of eliminating grit, dominance, or ambition, he calls men to integrate emotional awareness with decisive action.This episode is for:Men in their twenties who feel directionlessFathers raising sons in a confusing cultural momentLeaders managing disengaged young menAnyone wondering if therapy could be more effective for menStrength is not the absence of emotion. It's the ability to face it without flinching.Rugged Counseling (Trey Tucker's practice) https://www.ruggedcounseling.com/InstagramThe main Instagram account associated with him and his work is: https://www.instagram.com/ruggedcounseling/Tough Enough Book: https://a.co/d/0erVME7U BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

If you feel lost as a man, unsure of your purpose, stuck in bad habits, or quietly carrying anxiety you can't explain—this conversation is a reset. Cody Jefferson (former pastor, founder of Embrace the Line) breaks down what authentic masculinity actually looks like in real life: not a beard, not bravado, not “alpha” performance—but integrity, leadership, emotional regulation, discipline, and faith-driven purpose. We talk about why so many men feel isolated today, how fatherlessness shows up even in homes with dads, and how social media creates a false picture that keeps men from getting help. If you've been battling complacency, porn, drinking, self-sabotage, or just the feeling that you're called to more but don't know where to start—this episode gives you a practical path forward. You'll hear a grounded framework for biblical masculinity, how to become a high-value man through responsibility, and how to build real strength through routine, community, and accountability. This is for men who want to protect, provide, pioneer—and stop playing small. You'll learn the three responsibilities that define healthy masculinity—protect, provide, and pioneer—and how to rebuild your identity around them. You'll hear how unresolved trauma gets mislabeled as “toxic masculinity” and why that confusion keeps men stuck in coping behaviors instead of growth. Cody lays out a simple daily structure (gratitude, reading, scripture, training, planning) that creates momentum and eliminates decision fatigue. We also unpack the problem inside modern church culture—why many churches get good at invitations but not discipleship, and why men need accountability, brotherhood, and a mission they can rally around. 00:00 Intro01:45 What masculinity really means02:59 Protect • Provide • Pioneer04:38 The men who shaped Cody08:37 What happens when men lack purpose10:31 Why men isolate and “fake it”12:35 Small-town mindset traps15:14 Money, stewardship, and playing bigger18:06 “Masculinity isn't toxic—trauma is”21:10 The church: invitation vs accountability25:05 Entertainment vs purpose26:20 How to start becoming the man you want28:25 Simple morning routine + micro wins33:12 Building community + accountability systems36:50 Final charge to men listening38:36 Where to find Cody #Masculinity #MensGrowth #ChristianMen #SelfDiscipline #Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.

When culture lowers the bar, fathers feel crazy for raising it. We sat down with therapist, mentor, and outdoorsman Ken Curry to name what's really slipping—and to chart a stronger path: presence over distraction, authority over control, and adventure over comfort. From the grocery line to the courtroom, we trace how attention gets captured, standards get blurred, and dads get mislabeled for doing the hard, healthy work of setting boundaries.Ken breaks down the two essential energies kids need: the mother's focus on well-being and the father's drive for confidence. Together they create balance; split across two homes, they can become a tug of war. We get practical about helping kids “switch systems” after custody exchanges, using clear values, steady routines, and calm follow-through so house rules feel like culture, not combat. We also unpack the crucial difference between authoritative parenting and authoritarian control, especially when firm expectations are unfairly framed as harshness by outsiders who don't live the day-to-day.This conversation returns again and again to your internal frame—the identity, values, and emotional composure that make leadership feel safe and strong. Ken shares ways to build that frame, from men's groups and mentoring to simple rituals like shared chores, limited screens, family dinners, and planned adventures that stretch kids in all the right ways. Presence is not a buzzword; it's a practice that turns ordinary moments into trust and turns resistance into respect. If you've ever wondered whether you're “too strict” or simply the only adult holding the line, you'll leave with clarity, language, and tools you can use tonight.If this resonates, share it with a dad who needs backbone and encouragement, subscribe for more honest conversations about fatherhood, and leave a review with the one boundary you're committed to holding this week.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Since our last episode together, Emily and I celebrated 20 years since we met. Over the course of two decades, we've realized there are seasons to a marriage. Now obviously, most couples would hope for an endless springtime rather than the winter of their discontent, but what we're talking about here isn't quite so literal. It's not just that things change both in the marriage and around you. That's inevitable in this life. It's not even about the evolution of the marriage, or the both of you over time, really.  Rather, it's a definite smooth and perhaps even rhythmic flow from one major theme of your life together into another. Now, Emily and I met when we were in our mid- and late-thirties, respectively. For the benefit of those of you listening who might be younger, what seasons can younger couples expect? Is it all about being DINKS (or even DINKWADS)? What about the "Honeymoon Phase"? And the dreaded "Seven Year Itch"? Does Parenthood count as a season? As for us, we went through "travel season" and "youth sports season". What's next? We were still having kids at 40 and 45 years old, so we aren't "empty nesters" yet. What might that season look like? What about growing old together? What are some surprises that season might bring?

Things take a very unexpected turn on this episode of Dirty Little Secret on The Jubal Show. A caller admits he’s been watching Jubal’s TikTok lives for a while—especially the workout and flexing videos

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Please Me!, host Eve welcomes Brent Dowlen, relationship and personal development coach, podcast host, and creator behind multiple shows including Driven To Thrive Broadcast and Dad Hat Shenanigans. Together, they unpack the rarely discussed realities of men's sexual health, including performance anxiety, shame, stress, and identity — and how these factors deeply impact intimacy, relationships, and mental health. Brent shares candid personal experiences with erectile dysfunction caused by stress and exhaustion, shedding light on how strongly many men tie sexual performance to masculinity and self-worth. The conversation explores how fear, shame, and societal expectations can quickly turn sex from a source of connection into a source of anxiety — and what men (and their partners) can do to interrupt that cycle. This episode also dives into foundational habits for long-term sexual health, including sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise, stress management, and honest self-assessment. Eve and Brent address the men's mental health and loneliness epidemic, the outdated “playbook” men are still handed, and why vulnerability is often encouraged in theory but punished in practice. The episode concludes with a realistic and educational role-play conversation, modeling how couples can communicate desires, boundaries, fantasies, and consent — proving that healthy sexual communication can be awkward, playful, respectful, and deeply connecting.

This week I'm joined by GS Youngblood to explore what healthy masculinity actually looks like in modern relationships. We get into masculine–feminine polarity, why so many men get stuck between "nice guy" passivity and hyper-masculine posturing, and what real relational leadership means in practice. We unpack his three-part blueprint: respond instead of react, provide structure, and create emotional safety. We look at co-regulation, communication breakdowns, financial and physical safety, and why intimacy is often harder than leadership at work. We also dive into embodiment as daily training for men who want to stay grounded under pressure, and I ask GS what advice he has for younger men navigating dopamine addiction, loneliness, and cultural confusion around masculinity. Find out more about GS Youngblood's work here: gsyoungblood.com ----------------------------------------------- GS Youngblood is the acclaimed author of the groundbreaking book "The Masculine in Relationship", which challenges the modern notion that all Masculinity is toxic by offering a model - the Masculine Blueprint - for men to become grounded in their own power AND more relational with their Feminine partner.  In his 2nd book "The Art of Embodiment", GS teaches that a daily embodiment practice is the foundation of men living more in their masculine.  The practices that he teaches help men ground their nervous system, and as a result become more powerful, choiceful, and relational.   ----------------------------------------------- Become a certified embodiment coach.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Better men get better women. To be a better man, the "Big Four" is the standard. Once you're a "Big Four" man, you deserve what you want. Although there's always room for improvement, most men who listen to this show have three of the "Big Four" down pretty well. You're masculine, you like women and you're a man of good, solid character. But when "confronted" with an attractive woman we'd like to meet, talk to and get to know, we freeze up and "fail to deploy". What's up with that? Why is the CONFIDENCE part so difficult? I mean, without it, how are women ever going to know you represent the other three pillars of the "Big Four" as well? In this week's SFTS you'll not only get answers to why so many men struggle with the confidence part, you'll get practical solutions to fix the problem and make sure it never happens again. Did you know that VAMANOS is the everyday carry for "Big Four" men?

America and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, and while the world watches the fallout of "Epic Fury," we’re looking at what comes next. Our Amelia Lester, also an editor at Foreign Policy, is here to explain why the US acted without Congress, why Australia is one of the few Western voices in support, and whether this is the kind of international meddling Donald Trump promised to avoid? Plus, Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jnr’s Love Story has triggered a wave of nostalgia for those who lived through the 90s, and 'fauxstalgia' for those who like to imagine a world that didn't involve an endless scroll. Clare Stephens wants to know what life was like when we lived with two hands, and not with one constantly on our phones. And, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been snubbed, finding themselves uninvited from a major royal event. So are they being punished for the sins of their parents, or, Holly Wainwright wants to know, is this the beginning of William’s royal trim down? Also, we’ve got the definitive list of songs NOT to listen to when you’re driving. And… Bad Bunny, Harry Styles and the ridiculous joy of watching men dance.

We'll hear how ICE agents' own family members describe them as low-IQ bullies chasing signing bonuses, why a former white nationalist explains that the alternative to unpacking discomfort is becoming overtly racist, how incel culture evolved from lonely forums into a MAGA recruitment tool, and what researchers found about why men socialized to equate violence with manhood end up joining state-sanctioned death squads.
