Summary

Comedian Lisandra Vasquez — best known for her satirical “daily press briefings” as Karoline Leavitt on TikTok — joins us for a powerful, honest conversation about toxic masculinity, emotional repression, and why so many men still feel trapped by outdated ideas of what it means to be “a man.” We also dig into the new Pope and how religion continues to shape the hierarchy of the family unit.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com Get Find Out Merch at findoutpodcast.com.
