About this episode

This episode explores the epidemic of male loneliness and the impact of individualism on male friendships.

Surveys have reported the number of men with more than six close friends has halved. We are taught from childhood that competition and rugged individualism are the makings of a man. What happens when that individualism goes too far? On this episode we examine male friendships, loneliness, and how we ended up alone to begin with.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
