About this episode

B. Black discusses the complexities of male identity and emotional vulnerability in the context of podcasting.

In this episode, I talk about how I can support the message “Ban All Male Podcasts” while being a male podcaster, shining according to TheDivergentHood, being both an introvert and an artist, and being disliked by people with ugly spirits. In the Final Say segment, I attempt to answer the question: “How do you stay soft-hearted in a world that measures manhood by emotional numbness?” Quotables "Don't change your heart, change the people you're sharing it with." You’re so sensitive Hurt people hurt people Being hated by people Links How do I endorse this message while being a man with a podcaster Keep shining by TheDivergenthood Introverts aren’t meant to be artist by Aurora Being disliked by people with ugly spirits by Monroethegreat How do you stay soft-hearted in a world that measures manhood by emotional numbness?
