Podcast - Inner Dimensional Man: Recent Episodes
Roan Kaufman
We explore what it is to be a man without dogmas, outside of hegemony, outside of media driven ideas of what it is to be a man. Instead of starting with an idea of what it is to be a man, such as men are from mars, or men are at their essence warriors and gladiators, or rely on trite platitudes, The Inner Dimensional Man podcast aims to discuss deeply personal and authentic ideas through dialogue. Rather than rely on simplistic definitions of manhood to box us in, The Inner Dimensional Man moves towards the grey areas of masculinity, from simplicity to complexity. The podcast features thinkers, musicians, artists, athletes, visionaries, self defense experts, a wide group of men representing multi-generations, from all walks of life who have a story to tell, which can add to this exploration of what it is to be an inner dimensional man.
