For this month we are collaborating with The Washington State Urology Society, to share their amazing podcast, The Original Guide to Men's Health hosted by Richard Pelman. We will be doing a collaborative episode with them in June for Men's Health Awareness Month, so be sure to check out their show and we'll be back with a new episode of Let's Examine This in June.
 
 
In this two part episode we explore where the modern male finds himself. We review data demonstrating a trend of increasing gaps in educational achievement, increasing rates of male suicide, and addictions, the preponderance of males in the homeless population and the decline in males participating in key careers.
 
We also hear about a Washington State bill to create a commission on boys and men, why it’s important and potentially unique.
 
If you're unsure if men are indeed in crisis, or are already familiar with some of the issues, listen as we explore,learn and hear not only the issues but solutions from our two very thoughtful, knowledgeable and engaging guests.

During This Episode We Discuss:
 
The background data and trends supporting the issues are reviewed in an enlightened discussion with Brookings Scholar Richard Reeves
 
Learn from a Washington State Legislator Rep. Mary Dye about her efforts to sponsor a bill that would create a Washington state commission on boys and men. The would address well-being, including educational achievement, suicide, homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction and overdose, and incarceration. 
 
Those that feel this bill is serving a population that has already been privileged are looking through a narrow lens. These interviews demonstrate why vulnerable populations, men in poverty, and BIPOC populations would all find an advantage to having such a commission.
