Are men actually lonelier than women, or just louder about it? Why is male loneliness framed as a public crisis, while female loneliness is treated as a private burden? After examining the increase in loneliness across the board, Jean and Cherie sit down with first ever “Male Correspondent,” Ron Busby, to learn more about his experiences and ideate on solutions. This episode is for anyone who’s been affected by loneliness or isolation in one way or another, and anyone who wants to help build a more connected world.If this conversation brings up difficult feelings or you’re struggling with loneliness or depression, you’re not alone.
