Voicemail Project: What Does It Mean to Be a Man in 2018?

Be a man.

Whether or not you’ve been told it yourself, we’ve all heard the expression. But what does this phrase actually mean? In a shifting culture, our understanding of what it means to “be a man” may be changing.

 

So we’re asking you: What does it mean to be a man in 2018? We’re looking for everything: organized stories, spontaneous ramblings, whatever you want. And you don’t have to be a man to share. Just be sure to keep it under three minutes.

 

We want to hear your insight about manhood in our August 16th show. You can tell us your story by leaving a voicemail at (860) 580-9677. No one will pick up when you call, so don’t worry about making conversation with a stranger. You can always feel free to call back, start over, or hang up if you make a mistake.
