About MASKulinity Podcast

Brooklyn- and Oakland-based duo Samantha Nzessi and Remoy Philip invite you into their sometimes loud but necessary banter on masculinity. Hear Samantha and Remoy discuss topics like what masculinity means to our society, whether masculinity has actually been good to men, or even how the latest movie, TV and sports trends are helping or hurting the gender, and everyone else by extension. Also listen as a variety of guests—experts in the fields of gender studies, activists, or even everyday guys—stop by the pod to chat about subjects like ‘woke feminism’ or the men's rights movement. Listen week to week as Samantha, Remoy, et. al., invite (cis/trans/hetero/gay) men to take off the MASK that is masculinity, and do so from distinct yet connected perspectives. Let’s get into it.

   AI Pays If You Talk Like a Man

   This week, Remoy shows us another side of AI with the help of grad researcher Maria Teleki. How is it that AI and podcasts come together to reinforce patriarchy…and our socioeconomics?

   Seeing Kamala Through a Different Lens

   Happy 100th episode to us! It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, and what better to celebrate than to look back at history being made. Remoy takes us back to the first (and hopefully not the last) woman Vice President this country’s ever had with the help of her videographer, Azza Cohen.
