The Art of Manliness - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This show could be called “the art of being a well rounded human being” or “the art of nontoxic masculinity.” Brett finds amazing authors and other guests to discuss various topics, most of which are equally applicable to men and women. With so much toxicity out there these days, this show is a breath of fresh air. Can’t recommend it enough!

Love this podcast. It’s loaded with information and has generated so many ideas for me to follow up on regarding myself, my family, and how to improve my life. I highly recommend this to all men of any age.

I first encountered AoM via the website, which was being used as a model for some learning projects at Riverside (a boys’ learning center near Chicago—you should interview Peter Searby!). I later used many of the AoM articles and tutorials as a loose “curriculum” as I ran some community classes for homeschooled boys in another state. A mom friend introduced me to the podcast a few years later and I was thrilled to then have another format in which to enjoy much of the content that I had encountered on the website. I find almost all of the podcast guests and topics interesting, perhaps because I have a husband and 3 sons, so even if a topic is more male-specific, I appreciate having the information in order to understand my guys better. I do sometimes get a strange look though when I tell others it’s one of my favorite podcasts! It’s been invaluable to me as I’m parenting teenage and young adult sons. The topics are always relevant and current, and sharing episodes with my husband and sons has been a great way to introduce some important conversations into our family. Thank you for your efforts! AoM has been a real gift to me!

The best interviewer. Brett does his homework and keeps it tight. I’ve been listening for years and in my life this podcast has created tremendous value. Thanks.
