Podcasts about Masculinity

Before 21 year old looksmaxxer streamer Clavicular walked the Elena Valez runway at NYFW, his brand of hyper misogynist masculinity was confined to teenage boys in their bedrooms and the terminally online taking the piss out of him. But after making his fashion debut, Clavicular has garnered attention from nearly every mainstream mag imaginable. With other designers sending ‘looksmaxxing' T-shirts down the runway, has inceldom found a mainstream home? In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina unpack Clavicular's lore, from bone smashing to extreme racism, dissect the fashion world's continuing flirtation with the alt right and ask whether or not deplatforming really works for gen z influencers?Support our work and become a Polyester Podcast member

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.

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? There are now 67 retired episodes, featuring some of the OGs in the men's dating space.

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. Men's sexual performance anxiety and identity Erectile dysfunction, stress, and exhaustion Shame and fear surrounding sexual health issues When men should seek support for sexual health concerns Sleep, hydration, nutrition, and cardiovascular health for sexual wellness Testosterone, exercise, and healthy fats Men's mental health crisis and loneliness epidemic Why traditional therapy often misses men Masculinity, vulnerability, and societal expectations Initiating intimacy and feeling desired as a man Power dynamics, submission, and stress relief in the bedroom How to talk to your partner about fantasies and boundaries Consent, communication, and curiosity in long-term relationships Whole-Foods, Plant-Based Nutrition | Juice Plus+https://www.juiceplus.com How to Connect with Brent Dowl Website https://purposedrivenmen.com Connect with Eve & Please Me!

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?

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.

The laughter fades fast when a cousin you worshipped shows up unrecognizable. That jolt sets off a candid deep dive into grief most men never name—losing people to addiction, mourning futures that vanished, and carrying the ache of absent fathers while trying to look “fine.” We open the hood on what really happens when pain has nowhere to land and why silence, hustle, and jokes become armor that eventually cracks.We don't stop at the five stages. We map the messier terrain: anticipatory grief before the end arrives, disenfranchised grief when others dismiss your pain, optimistic grief for futures that collapse after injury or prison, review grief for a past self you can't return to, and the brutal ambiguity when someone is physically here but psychologically gone. Along the way, we get specific about boys and father loss—never met him, incarcerated hero, deceased dad, or the father who lives nearby but rejects you—and how each path shapes identity, anger, and trust in the world.Then we get practical. You'll hear the Four D's men default to—delay, distract, deny, disconnect—and five tools that actually help: identify your grief so it becomes a process, reconnect to safe people, anchor yourself with routine and movement, make room for emotions that clash, and integrate grief into purpose with rituals that honor those you miss. We also speak directly to boy moms about creating a home where tears tell the truth and “strength” isn't measured by shutdown.This is real talk about men's mental health, coping with loss, addiction in families, and the everyday rituals that turn pain into fuel. If you've ever felt stuck between being “strong” and being honest, this conversation gives you language, structure, and a path forward. If it resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the tool you plan to try next.Join our Patreon Community Buy some merch and ebooks IG: @terryroseland & @amansperspective_

Generational Shifts: A 2025 National Research Group study found that nearly 50% of men aged 13–30 desire to see men become more emotionally vulnerable, indicating a shift in perspective among younger generations. Mixed Opinions: Data from the Movember Foundation reveals that 31% of men surveyed view the ability to cry or be emotionally open as a strength, while 34% see it as a weakness.   Adam Tomlin is the host of the ACT OUT podcast. Before embarking on his journey as a podcaster, he worked as an attorney, where he dedicated as much effort to avoiding his own emotions as he did to advancing someone else's dreams. After a couple of years of rewiring his mindset, he became frustrated with the narrative perpetuated by the "podcaster bro" culture, which suggested that compassion was a weakness incompatible with masculinity and the pursuit of a better world. This inspired Adam to create the ACT OUT podcast to change that perspective. He advocates for everyone to have the ability to pursue their happiness, allowing ALL individuals to make a life, earn a living, and make a difference.   Adam's story reflects the American experience. At one point, I introduced myself with the line, "I began every attorney bio that way." In hindsight, that may have sounded more pretentious than charming, but ironically, it was more accurate than I realized. At the time, I felt stuck, empty, and like a bad person. Unfortunately, that feeling is a common narrative for many people, and I want to help change it.   I was born and raised in a small rural town in northwest Georgia, where the accents were so strong that I didn't realize I had one until I went to college in Atlanta. Growing up, I was taught that the only acceptable feelings were “positive” ones, and even those came with terms and conditions. As a result, I tried to suppress all my emotions, but I was wildly unsuccessful. Nonetheless, I didn't seek help for my mental health until much later in life.   For more information, visit: https://www.theactoutpodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Alex brings back Hardy Bullock, Nevada County Supervisor, for the first part of an interview that touches on everything wrong about politics right now.

Western culture has been disciplining young men in narcissistic masculinity that's consumed by wealth, sex, and power but it doesn't satisfy. The church is currently seeing an influx of young men getting serious about God as they search for meaning, purpose, and value and who need to be discipled. Join Wes, Andy, and special guest John Lovell as they discuss biblical masculinity.

Send a textMike and Doug explore what it actually means to be yourself in a world constantly offering scripts. What begins as a conversation about shrinking, privilege, and cultural pressure turns into something more personal: what makes you the most you? The episode wrestles with the tension between self-awareness and self-erasure, humility and hiding, growth and authenticity. Instead of performing strength or apologizing for existing, the invitation becomes simpler and harder: lean into what is uniquely yours. Your voice. Your body. Your weirdness. Your fire. Honest, reflective, and at times provocative, this conversation circles one idea—be fully yourself. Everyone else is already taken.Want more?

What if the pressure you feel around money isn't personal — it's inherited?In this episode of Dare to Be Free, we unpack financial masculinity: the control, hustle, productivity, and pressure-driven money paradigm rooted in patriarchy that many of us were taught to move inside. This isn't about men versus women — it's about a system that equates worth with output and safety with control.We explore what happens when you stop forcing, stop bracing, and begin integrating pleasure, pacing, and nervous system safety into your wealth strategy.

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, I sit down with Hunter Clark, founder of Sunlight, a coaching program helping men break free from pornography. Hunter shares his personal journey — from first exposure at nine years old, to struggling through high school and marriage, to eventually finding real freedom after realizing white-knuckling, shame, and traditional approaches weren't working.We break down:• Why shame fuels the cycle more than porn itself• The difference between avoiding porn and actually healing• How isolation strengthens addiction• The power of bringing struggles into the light• Misalignment in life as a root cause• Why screen time is a hidden accelerant• Dopamine, the “hedonic treadmill,” and modern masculinity• How porn affects intimacy and marriage• AI, OnlyFans, and the next wave of digital temptation• Practical ways men can interrupt the patternHunter explains the three core pillars he teaches inside Sunlight — removing shame, restoring alignment, and rebuilding real connection — and why true freedom feels different than simply counting days. If you're struggling, know someone who is, or want to understand the deeper conversation around modern masculinity and addiction, this is an important episode.

Beautiful Boss Divas… In today's episode, I'm breaking down something that every woman needs to understand if she desires lasting, powerful love. Too many women are looking at relationships from the outside and creating fantasies in their minds about what they think love should look like. We put couples on pedestals. We attach our hope to images. And when things fall apart, we internalize fear. But here's the truth: what you see is rarely what's actually happening. I'm taking you behind the scenes into the emotional and psychological patterns that cause men to disconnect long before they physically leave. We're talking about identity shifts. Masculinity. Success gaps. Resentment. Emotional check-out. And the two core needs that, when unmet, quietly dismantle relationships from the inside out. This is not about blame. This is about awareness. This is about understanding the patterns so you don't repeat them. After interviewing thousands of men and working with couples for over two decades, I've seen the same triggers over and over again. And when you understand them, you move differently. You date differently. You choose differently. This episode is about power. Your power. Your awareness. Your positioning. Because no matter what you've been through… No matter who stayed or who left… You are always the prize. Stay tuned.

You can't become all God is calling you to be while walking in fear—whether it's fear of rejection, success, commitment, or being fully known. In this episode, JT and Anthony expose that what you protect out of fear will ultimately control you ("The little foxes spoil the vines” —Song of Solomon 2:15). With practical steps to name your fear, confront it through intentional exposure, rewrite the narrative, and act anyway—grounded in the truth that “God has not given us a spirit of fear” (2 Timothy 1:7)—we challenge you to stop protecting your fear and start protecting your purpose.LEARN MORE: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.

It explores the paradox of 1% better, the hierarchy of foundation and optimization, levels of mastery, earning the right to worry about the minor, the compound effect, the basics done well, complexity as a crutch, optimizing the major things, and the importance of masculinity and prioritization.TakeawaysStop majoring in the minorFocus on the basicsChapters00:00 The Issue of Majoring in the Minor05:41 Earning the Right to Worry About the Minor18:49 The Importance of Masculinity and Prioritization

Drift turns great fathers into weekend visitors, and it rarely happens in a courtroom. It happens quietly, in the decision gap—when pressure, fear of conflict, and “nice guy” habits push dads to give ground they never meant to lose. We unpack a clear, actionable roadmap for divorced dads to shed codependency, reclaim boundaries, and lead with grounded integrity that protects your time, your sanity, and your bond with your kids.We start by naming the pattern: conflict avoidance, overgiving for approval, and the resentment that follows. From there, we move through ten practical steps that change outcomes fast. You'll learn how to recognize your inherent worth, establish and communicate firm boundaries, and practice calm assertiveness without tipping into aggression. We dig into self-care as a non-negotiable performance edge, the daily work of challenging negative beliefs, and how small, consistent wins rebuild self-respect. Vulnerability takes center stage as a strength—opening the door to authentic connection with your kids, co-parent, and community.We also explore ownership of happiness: building a life that is not fueled by external validation, but by purpose, faith, and disciplined habits. Support matters, so we talk about finding the right circle—therapy, men's groups, or 12-step communities—that reflect your growth when you cannot see it. Finally, we ground the journey in authenticity and values. When your choices match what you stand for, you stop performing “nice” and start living kind, clear, and steady. That is the posture your children can trust and follow.If this resonates, share it with a dad who needs backup. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the first boundary you'll set this week—your kids are counting on you. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors.

What if the part of you you've been taught to fear isn't “wrong” — just human? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, author Juno Thorne opens a brave conversation on faith, masculinity, and the quiet cost of silence. This episode is for men (and couples) carrying spiritual confusion or sexual shame, especially those shaped by purity culture. You'll hear a grounded distinction between attraction vs. objectification, why “doing everything right” can still feel like inner fracture, and a practical path toward integration — not suppression — so you can feel whole again. Episode Chapter: 00:04:45 — The question that cracks open the silence: desire, faith, and honesty 00:06:15 — “Marriage didn't fix it”: why attraction doesn't disappear 00:08:04 — The internal conflict: humanity vs. spiritual rules 00:10:23 — Attraction vs. objectification: where purity culture collapses nuance 00:12:33 — Feeling alive again: reclaiming youth, vitality, and wholeness 00:15:15 — First step toward integration: changing the belief, then retraining the body 00:20:17 — Stop silencing yourself: the freedom Juno calls “Sacred Freedom” About the Guest: Juno Thorne is the author of Sacred Freedom, exploring how purity culture can wound men and how faith, desire, and honesty can coexist. He shares his own long journey from internal dissonance to embodied freedom. Key Takeaways: Separate attraction from objectification: noticing beauty isn't the same as using someone. Expect “marriage will fix it” to fail — the real work is inner integration, not denial. Start by gently reshaping the belief: “There's nothing wrong with attraction.” Then retrain the body: repeated safe experiences reduce fear-based conditioning over time. Shame doesn't just change behavior — it can fracture identity and intimacy. Ask yourself: What part of me am I silencing instead of understanding?

Will Spencer discusses the intersection of theology, globalism, and alternative media. He recounts his personal transition from a twenty-year involvement in New Age mysticism and psychedelics to biblical Christianity, arguing that many modern spiritual trends are actually rooted in theosophy. The speakers express concern that alternative media personalities and global elites are increasingly adopting occult worldviews that ultimately support transhumanism and centralized global governance. They also discuss the historical and spiritual origins of Nazism, linking its pagan foundations to contemporary environmentalist movements and various “truth seeker” subcultures. The dialogue further explores the complexities of Christian nationalism, the biblical significance of Israel, and the erosion of institutional trust in a post-COVID world. Ultimately,  Will advocates for a biblical foundation as the only reliable means of navigating modern deception and finding objective truth.
