  • Summary

  • Are you a "real man"? For good or bad, it used to be obvious what it meant to be a man. But, as society changes, we seem to be redefining the term. As this transition progresses, though, it’s leaving some men wondering exactly who and what they’re supposed to be, and how they fit in. We believe that every man has an authentic version of himself. And that’s why the PsycWard podcast exists. It’s all about the search for explanations. About what men really think when it comes to careers, family, friends, relationships. We interview people who have unique views about men and their place in society. We’re looking for explanations for why men are the way they are. We’re on a mission, and that mission is to find an answer to one question: what does it mean to “be a man” in today’s world?

    We take a look at how the role of men is changing in modern culture.

We talk a lot about sex and why men always end up as the "chasers."

    Mike and Eric talk with Mark (who's not actually that old) about how the definition of being a man has changed over time. Mark share s with us his perspective on growing up with his own father - "a real man if there ever was one" - and how the role of men has changed in Mark's 7+ decades. As a side note.... Mark's not buying into most of what society is telling him about being a "modern man."
