\"Art<\/p>\n

I started the Art of Manliness Podcast<\/a> back in 2009, took a break from it starting in 2010, and brought it back in 2013 due to popular demand. What started out as a sideshow to the main site has quickly become one of the most popular features at Art of Manliness. I’ve steadily worked to improve both my interviewing skills and the sound quality of the show and the podcast now consistently ranks in the top 100 on iTunes and has had 30 million+ downloads since its inception.<\/p>\n

The podcast is not only an increasingly central part of AoM, but it’s also by far my favorite part to work on. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to talk to hundreds of writers, scholars, and experts from a wide variety of fields and walks of life. The goal of the podcast is the same as the website: to provide information to help men live a well-rounded and flourishing life. Episodes explore how to live a life of both contemplation and action, while having some fun along the way. The show topics cover everything from history and philosophy, to social\/professional skills, to parenting, to self-defense and physical training, to pop culture and literature.<\/p>\n

While I’ve enjoyed talking to all my guests, some interviews have had a lasting impact on me. Below I highlight my personal favorites so far this year. They’re not in any particular order. If you haven’t listened to the podcast yet, the episodes below will give you a good idea of what you’ve been missing out on. Listen to a few (or all) of them and then subscribe using your podcast player of choice. I’d love to have you join in on my conversations with some really interesting folks.<\/p>\n

And if you’ve been listening to the podcast for awhile now, I’d appreciate it if you could give us a review on iTunes<\/a> or whatever podcast platform you use. It’s a fantastic way to support the show and help other people discover it.<\/p>\n
