The Man Enough Podcast

Justin Baldoni -- the actor from Jane the Virgin who also directed a film about masculinity -- co-hosts this show with journalist Liz Plank and music producer Jamey Heath. The three of them tackle the question of what it actually means to be a man today, and they do it from a perspective that's more progressive and emotionally open than most shows in this space. With 124 episodes and a 4.6-star rating from about 1,150 reviews, The Man Enough Podcast brings in guests like FKA twigs, Matthew Hussey, and Kevin Hines for conversations about body image, domestic violence, vulnerability, fatherhood, and intimacy. Episodes run 40 minutes to an hour and a half, and the tone is thoughtful and deliberate. Nobody is yelling. Nobody is trying to sell you a supplement. The show's real strength is that it creates space for conversations that men don't typically have out loud. Justin is openly emotional in a way that feels genuine rather than performed, and having Liz Plank on the panel adds a female perspective that keeps the discussion from becoming an echo chamber. Jamey rounds out the trio with a grounded, everyman energy. This podcast sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from the hustle-and-grind masculine shows. It's for guys who are interested in examining the scripts they were handed about manhood and deciding which ones to keep. If rigid gender roles have caused friction in your relationships or your own sense of self, this is a show that takes that seriously without lecturing you about it.
