For at least 10 years now this has been my go-to podcast. I thought I had very diverse interests - especially for a guy - but somehow Brett hits them all. Plenty of conventionally manly stuff here that I love like military history and weightlifting. But also tons of less conventional manly stuff...Read full review »

My fiance introduced me to this podcast and I absolutely love it even though I’m a woman. Some podcasts feel like you’re just listening to people gossip or chat about controversial topics, but I appreciate how this podcast provides conversations about real, practical issues on a philosophical...Read full review »

One of the most diverse podcasts out there. Something for everyone. History, philosophy, finance, all of it. Love how AoM podcast always has practical applications and a focus on becoming better. Keep it up!

The host always arrives well prepared and well read on the show’s topic. Has interesting content driven by insightful questions to the guest. Even when the topic of the show does not call to me, I find the discussion is certain to take a turn to the “ interesting”. Like topics you never...Read full review »

I have recently started listening to AOM again after a long break and am horrified at the affect this pod has on my bank. Every episode I listen to seems to take money out of my account and add another book to my collection. Excellent interviews with interesting people, great exploration of new...Read full review »
Bad_Monkey via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/23/24
Great podcast with a wide (often surprisingly so) range of topics. Brett conducts a respectful conversation, stepping aside and letting the guest talk, often breaking in with an insightful question but not dominating the discussion, and letting the excellent subject matter shine on its own. I’ve...Read full review »

Great podcast on many levels, health, self improvement and Bret has a great interview style.

I mostly listen to daily news and political podcasts but AOM podcasts are such a delight to enjoy! This podcasts touched on a variety of subjects from history to mental health and the host is always articulate and brings out the most interesting sides of his guests. There are countless times...Read full review »

Many of the podcasts I listen to provide interesting and helpful information but AOM goes a step further. It apprentices you into a life of vibrant virtue, meaning and purpose.

I'm a female military veteran and have been listening to this show since I was active duty to keep my mind focused on actionable things I can do to be healthier, happier, and more effective.Read full review »

Brett never fails to have new and engaging guests, often touching on topics I didn’t know I’d be interested in but that I then dig into more having learned from the podcast.
Dscscc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/24
While I’m not a religious devotee of AOM’s podcast, every time I listen to an episode I find myself thinking “I need to listen to this more often!” Great guests, thoughtful questions. I always learn something.

In the 90s I called it R/W (run/walk) and it was best for me as an avid weightlifter who loathed traditional running. I lost 25 lbs in a month and most was body-fat. But mine was a 5-on, 5-off interval of minutes.
Amdyfyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/24
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the AoM podcast since day one. Brett does a phenomenal job of finding interesting guests and doing his homework before the conversation.
fjcncheie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/24
I cannot tell you how many times I have shared the podcast episodes with friends and family. Thank you so much for bringing these much needed topics and sharing them with us. I have been enlightened in so many ways.
D10626 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/24
For years AoM has produced compelling, actionable shows with wide-ranging topics and engaging guests.
PersianExpress via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/24
Brett has a lot of really interesting guests on. Even some of the topics I figured I’d have no interest in, I end up enjoying. Some I don’t appreciate, Jordan Peterson for one. And I do wish Brett and guests would catch themselves when they say “Male” and “Female” when “Man/Men” and “Woman/Women”...Read full review »

I love this podcast. I’m a woman in my early 30s, wife, mother, and I love this podcast. I appreciate Brett’s down to earth vibes-he seems humble but high minded. I derive so much encouragement from this podcast. Thank you AOM team (and various guests)!!

This podcast is hands down one of the best ways to spend your podcast listening time. This is the leading podcast in its genre. More like this is needed in the world.
Jb2007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/24
I found this podcast several years ago and got my husband hooked. Brett covers many interesting topics...I recommend this for all ages & genders.
Mari Bologna via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 02/05/24
A powerful and rare pillar standing for what it means to be a man.
Whathefungus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
Amazing conversation. I will definitely seek out Louis Ferrante’s Borgata book. He really has a deep knowledge of the mafia and lived it too. If you have the least bit of interest in the mafia and history in general…this episode is for you. Thanks Brett for having this guest on AoM.
Mulreen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
Love the philosophical discussions. It goes down so easy, like when you interviewed Dr. Warmke.
LLuvCoolJane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/24
Brett does a great job having guests and topics that every man should listen to.
pipercubah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/24
A meaningful resource for insights on a wide range of topics such as personal growth , modern societal interactions, ancient history, scientific discovery, and more. Host is smart and insightful and always keeps the conversation moving forward in a thoughtful progression

Brett does a great job of bringing the most important parts of a book to life while interviewing authors. Love this podcast!
Busy busy.. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/24
It’s a bit uncanny how Brett comes out with a new podcast that can apply so directly to what’s happening in my life at the moment. He provides a great platform for his guests to discuss their topic of interest and always has great questions to follow up with. Highly recommend this podcast for all...Read full review »

Middle aged man that’s been listening & reading for quite a few years now. I look forward to the “what’s next” because I work a ton, so I share with my boys & occasionally my daughters! Quality material & Quality effort! Thx Jason

Love this podcast, such a great variety of really interesting and helpful topics, Brett does a very good interview with questions that dig deep into the presenter’s experiences.

Always good content!

I really enjoy AOM. I love how Brett, the host, allows his guests to talk without interrupting them, so that we get the full thought of the person he’s interviewing. Brett is truly here to help others and to get in-depth on topics. I have especially enjoyed the history and survival episodes. Keep...Read full review »

I discovered AoM during the pandemic. Since then, I am looking forward to each new article and content. What is provided here is a ton of inspiration to live the high and sporting life. So much truth in here, very profound stuff which is really helpful. And I know: I am not alone with my kind of...Read full review »

Brett is an excellent host. He clearly does a lot of pre reading and is himself very knowledgeable on historical, philosophical and fitness topics. Anyone would benefit from listening to this podcast, not just men.
hugefitzpatrick via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/03/24
I have been listening to this podcast for years and I continue to love it. So much great stuff. I look forward to every episode!
Docta Sam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/24
With so much input in our lives, so much noise, The Art of Manliness is as refreshing as it is formative. Endless variety, intelligent and engaging interviews, strong encouragement to put into action the things discussed….one would be hard pressed to find a better use of an hour a couple of times...Read full review »
Epicness1976 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/24
These interviews and discussions are terrific. I’ve enjoyed all of Art of Manliness’ content for over a decade and the podcast is a great extension of the website. This is not a “10 steps to self improvement” style show. It is a thoughtful, fun, and in-depth exploration of what honorable and...Read full review »

Very diverse. Absolutely jam-packed with anything and everything you might be interested in or find useful. I love this show.
coltonhaun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/24
I’ve been listening to the AoM Podcast for a couple of years. I originally thought it was about survival and being in the woods stuff. It’s more than that. His guest focus on not only survival but they also focus a lot on physical and mental wellness. It’s well worth a listen.
JSSumner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/24
Brett gets me thinking about things I wouldn’t as a course of my normal day. This podcasts offers support for men who want to be pillars of foundation for their marriage, families, church, community and country. Brett, please attempt to reduce the number of times you use the word “like”.
briancreighton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/24
This podcast is an oasis of sanity in the current world of malevolent ambiguity. Turn off the political/current event podcasts and listen to AoM. Brett McKay is top notch!
2nd of 6 sons via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/24
Art of Manliness has great content relative to all. Very informative, engaging and entertaining. Minimal, relative sponsorships. Length of episodes are perfect. Long enough for meaningful content, yet short enough to not lose my attention. Highly recommended.
ChipFariss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/24
I oversubscribed to recommended podcasts last year and winnowed them down to the best of the best at the end of 2023. AOM is in my top three. Why? Best variety of content, best moderation, best guest speakers, large number of forwards to friends. Keep up the great work, brother!
HankHeim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/24
I’m a pastor and regular podcast listener. I listen to many different podcasts and I get bored easily. But I always come back to AoM. It has the highest hit ratio rate of all the podcasts - the highest percentage of podcasts that I listen to. Brett has relevant content, amazing guests, and asks...Read full review »

I almost always land on AoM when searching for something to listen to. Interesting, diverse line-up, and I always feel improved after tuning in. Brett does a great job.
Il Voce via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/24
A colleague recommended this podcast just a couple of weeks ago and since then I’ve been gobbling up lots of amazing episodes. So many great discussions, ideas and guests. I’m definitely a fan now. Thanks!

I’ve been listening to The Art Of Manliness podcast since 2015 and have found it constantly intriguing. In the interest of branching out, I have tried other podcasts but find myself always coming back to the varied guests and topics that Brett brings to the microphone. It really is the only...Read full review »

By far my favorite podcast, it is both entertaining and informative. Sure appreciate all the effort that goes into putting them together.

I’ve been listening to Brett’s podcasts for years and am most impressed with his ability to find new and informative speakers who bring interesting, timely and useful material to the listener in a helpful, understandable way. Always worth the time of listening and always impactful. Great stuff!
