The Art of Manliness Podcast aims to deepen and improve every area of a man's life, from fitness and philosophy, to relationships and productivity. Engaging and edifying interviews with some of the world's most interesting doers and thinkers drop the fluff and filler to glean guests' very best, potentially life-changing, insights.
Author, essayist and journalist Meghan Daum has spent decades giving voice—and bringing nuance, humor and surprising perspectives—to things that lots of people are thinking but are afraid to say out loud. Now, she brings her observations to the realm of conversation. In candid, free-ranging interviews, Meghan talks with artists, entertainers, journalists, scientists, scholars, and anyone else who’s willing to do the “unspeakable” and question prevailing cultural and moral assumptions.

Stop Stressing, Start Living - 5 Minute Stories On Letting Go
Dennis Crosby
Are you tired of feeling like life is a constant struggle and grind. Are you more stressed than you’re even wiling to admit to yourself. Are you living your life for the next goal, hoping that it will finally allow you to enjoy life, but knowing that it will only bring the next goal? I was there, and now I'm trying to break free of it all. This show is about my journey to break free of the hamster wheel. I'll share my wins, losses, joys, and sorrows with you. Let's get started...
My name is Christopher Mayor and I want to share with you the lessons I have learned through suffering from a Brain illness, depression, having a father who is an alcoholic and who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I’ll have people on the show including an EX NFL athlete, a psychotherapist, a doctor, a man who was hit by a car going 60 miles an hour, a PHD Pharmaceutical scientist, an author and a 24year old millionaire. I’ll answer questions from you guys as well. I hope you can use this ...
The practice of medicine–filled with moments of joy, suffering, grace, sorrow, and hope–offers a window into the human condition. Though serving as guides and companions to patients’ illness experiences is profoundly meaningful work, the busy nature of modern medicine can blind its own practitioners to the reasons they entered it in the first place. Join oncologist Tyler Johnson and medical trainee Henry Bair as they meet with doctors, patients, leaders, educators, and others in healthcare, ...
