The Angry Email I Get Over and Over

For the final episode, Aymann convenes four friends to talk about the hashtag #MenAreTrash and to debate whether it’s possible to critique manhood and masculinity without bashing men as a group. Then, Aymann’s colleagues ask him questions to figure out how much he’s changed since the show began almost a year ago, and Aymann shares the most common complaint he's heard from listeners.

A COVID-19 Survivor Warns Other Men

Aymann tries to make sense of new polling data that shows men aren’t taking the outbreak of COVID-19 as seriously as women. First he talks to David Vega, a medical student who contracted the virus in early March after attending multiple gatherings with friends and family. Now, David says he should’ve been much more cautious, and he urges other men to learn from his mistakes. Then Aymann talks to Dr. Michael Smith, an internal medicine doctor and chief medical editor of WebMD. He says men have always been lousy at health precautions and now is the time for them to realize the error of their ways. How has the coronavirus affected you, or a man in your life?

It’s refreshing to hear regular guys (not “experts”) talk through the questions of what it means to be a man today in real time, with vulnerability and authenticity. Props!

Such a great podcast, although not always easy to listen to, as some of the insights can be cringeworthy and hit home with me more than I’d like. Please keep up the great work.
