What does masculinity actually mean in a world where the old rules no longer seem to apply? 

 

Social scientist Richard Reeves joins the show for a clear-eyed, data-driven conversation about why so many men feel untethered - and why the loudest online answers are mostly wrong. From “strength under control” to the quiet crisis facing boys and young men, this is a conversation about purpose, identity, and what masculinity is for, not what it’s against.

 

We explore why rapid economic and social change has left many men without a clear script, how online culture amplifies extreme reactions, and why boys and young men are quietly struggling in education, work, mental health, and social connection.
