Captain’s Log: No guests. No fluff. Just me, the mic, and whatever’s clawing at my insides. Think audio journaling meets back-of-the-bar confessions. Less psychobabble, more soul bleed. Raw, real, and mostly for me. Audio + Video Episodes. You ask, I riff. Therapy meets real talk. More structure, more insight, more of the good stuff on love, dating, and tools we need to build a healthy relationship. Awesome guests. Less navel-gazing, more crowd-serving. This one’s for you.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-06T14:20:49.423683+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-angry-therapist-podcast-743385"},"episode":{"title":"The New Masculinity: Discipline, Intimacy, and Emotional Strength with Brenden Durell","slug":"the-new-masculinity-discipline-intimacy-and-emotional-strength-with-brenden-durell","published_at":"2026-06-15T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-angry-therapist-podcast-743385/the-new-masculinity-discipline-intimacy-and-emotional-strength-with-brenden-durell","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-angry-therapist-podcast-743385","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/441/traffic.megaphone.fm/BVLLC6929024121.mp3","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/441/traffic.megaphone.fm/BVLLC6929024121.mp3","summary":"In this episode, John Kim sits down with Brenden Durell to talk about masculinity, vulnerability, Tantra, intimacy, and emotional growth.
