Talking Men and Feminism on KPFK: UPDATED

I’ll be appearing tonight on KPFK radio’s Feminist Magazine at 7:30PM PST. Along with Pia Guerrero (of Adios Barbie) and Melanie Klein (of Feminist Fatale) we’ll be talking about Men and Feminism — and our December 1 panel on that topic at Santa Monica College.

Listen live here, and a podcast will be available within a day or two.

UPDATE: Here’s the link to the show.

Hugo on the Jesse Lee Peterson Show

I’m going to be a guest on conservative Christian minister Jesse Lee Peterson’s radio show Wednesday morning, from about 8:00-9:00AM Pacific Time. I’ve tangled with him briefly before, and so I imagine our discussion of masculinity and the boy crisis will be heated. I may even get a word in edgewise.

Jesse and I were both born on May 22. I suspect that is all we have in common. Tune in!

Listen here. And the podcast will be here a day or two later.

Joining Jezebel

I’m so pleased to announce that next month, I’ll be joining Jezebel as a weekly contributing writer. Of course, my regular columns at Good Men Project and Healthy is the New Skinny will continue to appear.

I’m thrilled about joining Gawker Media and Jezebel, and reaching a particularly intelligent, savvy — and occasionally ruthless — commentariat.

My column is tentatively set to appear on Thursdays. My first piece is scheduled for October 6.

I’ve written a few things for Jezebel before:

Spring is No Excuse for Sexual Harassment.
A Dating Paradigm Shift For Women In Their 30s
Why the Ladies Love Ryan Gosling
How the Good Guys are Hard to Find Narrative Hurts Women
How the Skinny Bitch Discourse Isolates Women

And my most-read piece to date:

The Problem with Being Sexy But Not Sexual

Hugo on the Deb Colitti Show

I did an interview last week with Deb Colitti, who runs a great radio show in New York City. We started by talking about infidelity and whether monogamy is natural; we moved on to the myth of male weakness, Ashley Madison, the courage to communicate, and my new book with Carré Otis.

The link to the audio file of the show is here; we have a conversation that runs for some 20 minutes and it flows along very nicely. I’m not the first guest; I come on at 26:00.

I reference “playing the tape to the end”; here’s the piece I wrote on that strategy for coping with fantasy.
