Fun, heartfelt, and resonant

This has rapidly become one of my favorite podcasts. Mark and team do an incredible job of dissecting and delving into the masculine identity in personal and genuine ways.

Obsessed

I am obsessed with this podcast. It is exceptional with regard to going beneath the facade of masculinity. There is alway so much vulnerability in each episode that I have listened to. I am frequently moved, and I deeply appreciate the care that goes into the retelling of the stories.
