About this listen

 This "friendship podcast" features conversations between close friends that remind us of our responsibilities to ourselves and our communities. As friends, we hold each other accountable, lift each other up and remind each other of what’s important. Life is challenging and being a father, husband, parent, employee, business-owner, etc. takes so much consistent effort. We need reminders of why its important to get back up and keep going. As men, sometimes it can be challenging to maintain close friendships and communities around personal growth as we age. It takes a real effort and many of us prioritize this part of ourselves last. This podcast is our way of staying in touch with each other, even though we live in neighboring countries and live different lives. We value our friendship and its role in our individual development as people. These talks allow us to support each other, hold one-another accountable and be sounding boards for each other's lives.© 2025 Doug Powell, Ian E.

    Many Rivers To Cross (The Fellas Review "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" and "The Harder They Come"
    Apr 3 2025

    In today's episode:

    Ian and Doug catch up after a few weeks of being "out here in these streets." Ian discusses the new urban planning projects that have been keeping him busy while Doug discusses how he's been getting back on stage over the past few weeks.

    For this episode, Ian reviews the new book by Omar El Akkad titled: "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This." It's a challenging book to read due to its unwavering realness but an important book to read, no less. Ian gives a brief overview and the fellas discuss.

    To lift the mood a bit, Doug reviews the 1972 Jamaican classic, "The Harder They Come," Starring the one and only Jimmy Cliff. This is a film that Ian grew up watching with his father. Doug breaks down the film and gives his perspective.

    We conclude today's episode with another addition of everyone's favorite gameshow about whether-or-not something happened in Canada or America... "Which Side of the Border."

    Please let us know if there are any films you think we should watch or books you think we ought to read. Also, feel free to send along topics you'd like us to cover. Thanks for watching!
