It's becoming pretty clear that U.S. President Donald Trump is ripping up the political

playbook.

And when it comes to what it all means for Canada, well, as they say, it's complicated.

But our podcast, two blocks from the White House, is a way to make sense of it all.

Join me, Willie Lowry, and senior Washington correspondents, Paul Hunter and Katie Simpson

every week as we break down the headlines from Capitol Hill

with a Canadian spin. Find and follow two blocks from the White House on your favorite podcast

app, including YouTube. This is a CBC podcast.

At the center of every sick boy episode is the friendship between Jeremy, Brian, and Taylor.

Embodied from WUNC is another podcast that takes you into a deep exploration of male friendship and masculinity.

Each week, host Anita Rao digs into stories about sex, relationships, and health that touch down in taboo territory, like a discussion about the

challenges of diagnosing and treating eating disorders in black women's bodies, or a conversation

with a mother and son about the experience of getting the same diagnosis

at very different stages of life. No matter the topic, you'll meet folks who aren't afraid

to question what we think we know about intimacy, who are embracing the unique ways their

body shape their lived experience, and who have some fascinating stories to share about their

relationships.

In this episode, Anita talks to Mark Pagan, creator and host of the podcast Other Men

Need Help, about what makes close relationships among men so fraught, and what we can do about

it. Have a listen.

This is embodied from PRX in WUNC. I'm Anita Rao. American men are in a friendship recession. Compared to a few decades ago, five times as many men have no close friends.
