Hey there, Sam Sanders here. Before we start today's episode, I have a question for you.

We are working on an episode about men in America today. There's a big gap between the men we're told we should be and the men we actually are.

We want to hear about that gap from you. Tell us about a moment when you felt it. Maybe it was something you were taught about being a man that never quite fit.

Maybe it's a standard you've been held to, by your family, your culture, your own expectations,

that you've never been able or never wanted to meet.

Use your iPhone's voice memos app to record yourself.

Tell us your name, where you're from, and your story.

Please try to keep it to about a minute or less.

And then send it to us.

We're at In Conversation at Apple.com.

We might include your voice on the show.

Thanks.

This is In Conversation from Apple News.

I'm Sam Sanders in for Shemita Basu.

because the country is already front and center. That's Scott Detrow. He's a host of NPR's

All Things Considered, and he's currently working on a biography of Pope Leo out this fall.

And then all of the sudden, I'm broadcasting the conclave live for NPR.
