Let’s take a look at the best podcasts for men in 2022!
Obviously, I’m biased, and I’ll recommend The Manlihood ManCast as the premiere personal development podcast for men that you should all be listening to. The Manlihood ManCast is in the Top 50 Podcasts for men according to Feedspot. But today, I’m going to share with you the OTHER podcasts for men that you need to check out.
Ryan Michler interviews amazing guests about what it means to be a better man. In 2022, he has interviewed Terry Crews, Tim Kennedy, Cameron Hanes, Jack Carr, Tim Tebow, Phil Robertson, and more. Michler hosts three shows a week, including an “Ask Me Anything” show he typically hosts with Kipp Sorensen. My favorite part of the show is actually Ryan’s solo shows – Field Note Fridays, where he explains his take on approaching the world through a masculine framework. Ryan’s perspective is simultaneously fresh and old-fashioned, and I think it’s a much needed voice in today’s upside down culture.
Brett McKay approaches the world through a stoic view. He interviews guests on a variety of topics, including history relationships, and personal development. The show emphasizes a classic masculinity that transcends politics and focuses on individual responsibility.
Jim Ramos heads up this Christian podcast with an emphasis on men taking their faith, their role as husbands, fathers and leaders seriously. In 2022, Jim interviewed guests including former porn star turned pastor Joshua Broome, Stephen Mansfield, Larry Hagner and more. He delves into relevant topics that men need to discuss, but that the church may often skirt around.
Warren Peterson of the Significant Man Recharge has focused in 2022 on solo shows which he calls “Five Minute Fridays” where he talks about manhood from a Christian perspective. Peterson is a level-headed and practical podcaster, and his podcasts helps to recharge and build up the Christian man with an accessibility that anyone regardless of faith can relate to.
Larry Hagner of the Dad Edge Podcast (formerly known as the Good Dad Project) places an emphasis on personal development for fathers. A man that becomes the best version of himself can help his children become the best version of themselves. Larry is a dad himself, and he pulls from his experiences with his kids, and from his experience growing up without a father to help dads overcome the hurdles of fatherhood. In 2022, Larry interviewed Steve Weatherford, Gary John Bishop, Tanner Guzy, Dr. John Delony, and more.
Leadership is something every man needs to learn and embrace. John Maxwell is a leadership expert, and his podcast, while not specifically geared toward men, it’s chock full of leadership advice that will certainly help men.
Mike Yarbrough of Wolf and Iron is an amazing podcast host. His southern gentlemen approach to life, along with his encouragement for men to live up to their potential makes for amazing insights. His interviews are stellar, but his “Truck Talks” while he unpacks his own perspective on life are worth the listen
Stephen Mansfield is an author and thought leader who speaks on politics, religion, and issues surrounding manhood. He tackles current events, and what a man’s response to these events should be.
Dr. Jordan Peterson is a renowned clinical psychologist and author from Canada. His book “12 Rules for Life” is groundbreaking as it explores traditional western philosophies from a contemporary perspective. He speaks a lot about masculinity and culture, as well as a stoic approach to life.
Joe Rogan’s podcast is arguably the most popular podcast of all time. He is no stranger to controversy as he has come under fire for his views and his guests views on current events. He frequently interviews comedians and fighters, and he often explores the value of a traditional view of masculinity.
You’ve probably heard Kipp Sorensen as the Co-Host on Ryan Michler’s “Ask Me Anything” segments on the Order of Man Podcast. Kipp’s wisdom and insight are shored up by his diligence to better himself as a man.
He’s a successful business man and a husband and father, and he talks with us at Manlihood about his experiences through grieving the loss of his father, raising his family, training with his jiu jitsu brotherhood, and how to “Show Up” in every area of your life..
There is a lot of confusion behind what ‘be a man’ means. Sami Moa says his definition is someone who is fulfilled. Someone who has been able to generate wealth in their relationships, their business & their health while having unshakeable confidence in themselves.
Sami is a relationship coach who specializes in helping men become a better version of themselves to attract the kind of partner they want. He has made it his mission to teach men how to do this and has taught seminars in over 75 cities around the world and transforming the lives of thousands of men.
Doug Giles is a firebrand and a lightning rod for controversial statements about Christianity, masculinity, hunting and more. His no-nonsense take may be off-putting to some, but it’s refreshing to many of us.
Giles is a hunter, a minister, and host of theWarriors and Wildmen Podcast, owner and editor of the political website Clashdaily.com, and the author of several bestselling books,

That question plagues most every man, especially a monogamous man trying to improve his sexual relationship with his partner. Sarrah Rose is a Men’s Sex and Relationship Coach with an emphasis on tantric sex.
That’s not our usual manlihood interview…
When Sarrah reached out to get an interview with us at Manlihood, I was skeptical. This isn’t the typical interview that I would be looking for. It makes me uncomfortable to talk about sexuality with a woman, especially a woman who is into “tantric sex.” In fact, my wife’s reaction when I told her about it was, “Ummmmm…..”
Personal Development for Men
But Sarrah sent me a link to another interview she had done, and her primary emphasis is actually on personal development. If men want to be better lovers, it starts by taking care of themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Women want men who are healed from their trauma, safe to be around, and emotionally stable.
After hearing her perspective, I thought this would be a very valuable interview for us at Manlihood.
