Man in the Making
Brecken Michler
Show overview
Man in the Making has been publishing since 2021, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 40 episodes. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 29 min and 41 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Society & Culture show.

From the publisher
Father and son, Ryan and Brecken Michler talk about all the issues men should discuss with their boys - drugs, alcohol, pornography, sex, girls, discipline, commitment, and growing up. These conversations are designed to spark meaningful dialogue between you, as a father, and your own sons as you work to usher him into manhood.
