Borrowing an inspiration from
here’s an open thread for all my lovely listeners to chime in on who they’d like me to interview on The Mythic Masculine in 2024.Please post your ideas in the comments! And add a line about why you think we would have an interesting conversation.
Also, feel free to post some of your burning questions on myth & masculinity as we head into this turning of the year.
Have you heard of Jordan Holmes (aka DXTR Spits) yet? His project https://howmencry.com/ is right in your sweet spot.
Also another kind of everyday Dad making moves to connect men to a new kind of masculinity is Dr. Jason Frishman. He’d be an interesting interview talking about the challenges of connecting these new thoughts and ideas with mainstream dudes. https://www.journeymenfoundation.com/

My favorite two interviews you've done were with Tyson Yunkaports and Sophie Strand. I personally would love to hear them again (I think they both have relatively new books out too).
As far as burning questions (I am relatively new to your work so I'm sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere or in the past), I'd love more about caregiving, both mythical models of care and mythical ways to imagine masculine caregiving. I'm a (soon to be) single dad and I take care of my disabled brother full time. It's difficult for me to offer narratives to my son that describe this value because I just don't know of any, and it's difficult to model this for him because it's not valued culturally. Love your work, thank you 🙏
