  • Summary

  • Men are breaking down. The Breaking Down Men podcast asks why? And what can be done about it? Long-time friends Jim & Jay (a therapist and a comedian) explore manliness and masculinity in conversations that are sometimes informative, often humorous, and always interesting. No topic is off limits in this weekly podcast as Jim & Jay make each other laugh and chat about history, culture, health, politics, religion, sex, and sports. With a dash of Gen X pop culture thrown in. Our society is deeply divided on what it means to be a man, but men aren’t breaking down because of feminists, gay people, trans people, immigrants, or AOC. Men are traumatized by this brutal patriarchal culture like everyone else. Men struggle to ask for help, avoid painful feelings, refuse to go to therapy, shun community, and reject new perspectives on masculinity. No wonder they’re breaking down. A better way forward starts with honest conversations like these.
