(Aired Tues 6/23/26)

What does it mean to be a man - and what is the meaning of masculinity - in this country today?

Jordan Ritter Conn - a reporter based in Nashville who knows Southeast Tennessee - examines those questions through four stories in his book “American Men,” released by Grand Central Publishing.

This spring, Jordan visited Chattanooga for a conversation at The Book & Cover with David Martin - an alum of our campus here at UTC, a friend of The Book & Cover, and the incoming board chair of our public media partner WTCI PBS.

At that time, Jordan and David also stopped by our studios here at WUTC.
