Impromptu

The evidence is in. American men are facing a crisis — in health, in education and in the labor force. But under all of that runs deeper trends — disconnection, loneliness and a lack of role models. Columnists Theodore Johnson and Shadi Hamid talk with Richard Reeves, founder of the American Institute for Boys and Men, about the dueling visions of masculinity on the political stage and a hopeful way forward for the modern man.

Check out some of the work Richard Reeves mentioned in the show:

“Men are having a health crisis. Why aren’t we paying attention?”

“The State of Working Class Men”

And read more from Washington Post Opinions on this topic:

Theodore Johnson: “I grappled with masculinity. My mother showed me the truth.”

Christine Emba: “ Men are lost. Here’s a map out of the wilderness.”
