About this listen

 Michael (Red State Democrat and entrepreneurial thinker) and Nathaniel (Brooklyn-based “crunchy granola” socially conscious skeptic) first met two decades ago studying acting at NYU Tisch. They reconnected after drift and divorce, and are now bringing their deep and irreverent male-friendship dynamic – and complementary “woke dude” perspectives – to The Beta Boi Breakdown. Each episode takes listeners into the origins and ripple effects of cultural phenomena rooted in masculinity, gender, and power, “maxing” the audience’s empathy muscle and critical thinking. {[*]} This show offers a rare combination: intellectual empathy, humor, deeply personal reflections, and sociopolitical insight. It speaks to curious listeners exploring issues of masculinity, cultural trends, and the undercurrents driving online radicalization and social anxiety.
