ManTalks Podcast

Connor Beaton is one of the most respected voices in the men's personal development space, and ManTalks has been his platform since 2015. With over 1,000 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from 555 reviews, it's built a dedicated following of men who want to do serious inner work without the rah-rah motivational veneer. The show sits at the intersection of psychology, relationships, and masculine identity. Connor brings on therapists, philosophers, authors, and fellow men's work facilitators for conversations about attachment styles, nervous system regulation, self-worth, sexual intimacy, trauma recovery, and finding purpose. He's also not afraid to reference Dostoevsky or Nietzsche when the conversation calls for it, which gives the show a philosophical weight that lighter podcasts lack. Episodes range from quick 16-minute solo segments to full 70-minute interviews, released weekly. Connor's background as a men's group facilitator comes through in how he holds space for difficult topics. He listens well, asks pointed questions, and isn't in a rush to wrap things up with a neat bow. Conversations about anxiety, radicalization in young men, or navigating divorce get the time they need. This isn't a podcast that tells you to wake up earlier and work harder. It's one that asks why you feel the way you do and what patterns you keep repeating. If you've ever felt like something is off in your relationships or your sense of identity and you couldn't quite name it, Connor's work tends to put language to that experience. It's thoughtful, nuanced, and occasionally uncomfortable in exactly the right way.
