In "Men Cry in Secret," podcaster, columnist, and creator Sebastian Tigges and his guests explore the contradictory expectations placed on men and how they have become the people they are today. In in-depth conversations with prominent men, they delve into formative experiences and role models—identity, fatherhood, mental health, sexuality—and the courage to confront their own feelings. At the heart of it all is the question of how the spectrum of masculinities can be reimagined in a new and diverse way, beyond clichés and toxic norms. With "Men Cry in Secret," Sebastian Tigges creates a space for stories of ruptures, fears, transformations, and the courage to be vulnerable. The podcast offers valuable food for thought, showcases the multifaceted possibilities of contemporary male identity with all its contradictions and uncertainties, and is enriching for anyone who wants to better understand themselves and the men around them—regardless of their own gender. ...
