i was thinking last night about how sad it is that the main content out there for our young men to consume is basically reactionary dumbasses interviewing celebs or athletes or whatever. i was thinking it would be cool if a podcast existed that was just like regular dudes and getting their thoughts on masculinity, the family, relationships etc

the types of topics young men might be interested in and look to their fathers for guidance but not everyone has that, or some fathers are shitheads

is there anything like that out there? and if not would anyone be interested in recording some interviews and seeing if its any good?

i was thinking about trying to come up with like 3-4 questions to start as a template to ask everyone then following the conversation and seeing where it goes from there

i also just had a high abv beer and have adhd so i might never follow up on this lol

    Street fight is actually probably the best analogue come to think of it but less focused on current events and more focused on self improvement

    The reactionary dumbasses have a monopoly on that because explicitly stating it’s a “man’s podcast” or however you want to call it is a signal towards the chauvinist patriarchal, right wing or whstever

    This is correct and a problem; the difference here is it would be explicitly leftist, feminist and queer friendly

    What i would look for are interviews with specific people whose lives you’re interested in. Or experts on some kind of topic

    Yes it is this exactly but the interviews are with regular people, folks who work for a living, and focus on talking about/understanding their lives. What were their key decisions points? What would they have done differently? And what do they think it means to “be a man?”
