Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism. 


This week, we're talking about men, and how to lessen the weight of the burdens of masculinity. First, we chat about the men of the World Cup and why they give us hope for masculinity, and then we advise a letter writer who wants to look--and feel--sexy but isn't sure how.


Thanks for putting up with our slightly less regular schedule of late! We appreciate you and also we want your questions! We're down to the bottom of our mailbag so we need more in order to keep advising you: ⁠www.askmeanything.cc/heartreacts⁠.
