LIMINAL NEWS with Daniel Pinchbeck Frank Schaeffer & Warren Farrell | Masculinity, Fatherhood, & The Crisis of Meaning
In this episode, I'm joined by Frank Schaeffer and Warren Farrell for a deep, unflinching conversation about masculinity, fatherhood, and the growing crisis facing boys and men in modern society. Frank and Warren help me unpack how anger often masks vulnerability, how fatherlessness reshapes culture, and why political polarization is inseparable from unresolved emotional and relational wounds. We talk about masculinity beyond ideology β exploring failure, forgiveness, empathy, parenting, and the search for meaning in a time when old models no longer work and new ones haven't fully emerged.
