A PODCAST ABOUT MASCULINITY
BELT. Strap. Wallop. A shout. A boundary. Shackle. Whisky slug. Bible belt. Leather belt. Gun belt. Humorous man wisdom. Iconoclastic banter. Where cultural studies bangs into the locker room. This is where BELT lives and breathes. Terrified men preen. But they also confess their fears, their desires. Desperate for brotherhood. We are raw, vulnerable. We voice our most intimate stories. We make sense of the forces that have shaped our manhood. Those constructs that invigorate, we embrace. The rest, we quiet. We will be better men.
As a vomit-burp is to not-vomiting, so the profane is to the sacred. Parental discretion advised. Through the talk of the locker room, we transcend the locker room. If we are ridiculous, well . . . we are ridiculous.
