Episode 18: Why Men Stopped Reading...or Did They?

Why are fewer men and boys reading fiction these days? Brian sits down with Malory — author of snarky, action-packed LitRPG and progression fantasy stories, and a PhD researcher studying men’s reading habits — for a fascinating conversation. They explore: • The cultural and systemic reasons men have drifted away from reading • How LitRPG and boys’ adventure stories are fighting back • Writing fun, high-stakes fiction with swords, broken systems, and humor • Practical ways dads can help their sons (and themselves) fall in love with reading again Malory shares insights from both his academic research and his experience writing for Raconteur Press and other publishers If you’re a dad wondering how to get your kids reading more, or just love great fantasy storytelling, this episode is for you.
