March '24 Recap

In this episode of the Books for Men podcast, host Douglas Vigliotti expresses gratitude to the listeners, asks for their support in spreading the word about the podcast, and recaps the episodes from March 2024. In the first episode, he focused on women reading more than men, with the host discussing the rise of women in the publishing industry and the data that supports this trend. Vigliotti also explores why this topic is not widely discussed, including fear of ostracization, a negative cultural narrative surrounding men, and not recognizing what you don’t see. He recommends listening to the Special Edition episodes for a deeper understanding of the topic—in the second one he tackles the 10 Reasons to Read (Fiction.) The final episode of the month featured Owning Up by George Pelecanos, a piece of fiction that tackles issues facing our nation’s history. Vigliotti concludes by providing information on connecting with him and accessing the monthly newsletter with these recap episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the podcast.
