  • Ten years

    I’ve been listening to this show since 2016 and still replay episodes because they are timeless. Unfortunately the idea of running out of quality guest to give quality shows twice a week is not true. You can do one show a week, but they are plenty of quality guest out there talking about quality topics if you expanded your cultural scope. Type in Africa on your webpage, and Hemingway in Africa is the first thing that is displayed. This is an example of the need to see the world through a differe... more

  • One of the greatest podcasts out there

    The impressive number of high quality(!) episodes speaks for itself. Brett is an exceptional host, always well prepared, attentive to his guests and willing to learn new things. He takes listeners along this way. His broad and healthy understanding of manliness in the 21st century serves as a great overarching principle for the podcast and his website which I also highly recommend!

    Don’t let the title throw you off. The Art of Manliness isn’t just for guys. It’s packed with wisdom that anyone can use. This podcast was actually my first intro to the world of podcasts, and honestly, it ruined me in the best way. It’s like eating the best omelet of your life and then spending years trying to find one that’s better. Nothing else quite compares.

    This is the gold standard of self-improvement podcasts. I’m always looking forward to the next episode because I know it’s going to b... more
