In today's episode, Cameron & Mike dig a little deeper into their relationship with their assigned genders...They're males, if there was any confusion. On this bonus edition of Here Are Words, our hosts wax philosophical about drag royalty, flannel-wearing paper towel spokesmen, the gender dynamics of Icelandic economics, and our neurotic fears of being stereotyped due to one's gender assignment.

'Manliness: Post Script'

On today's show, Cameron and Mike discuss the finer points of humanity's propensity for violent retribution. Why do we love revenge narratives so much? How has our idea of vengeance evolved since the beginning of recorded civilization? Will Mike ever stop talking about Shakespeare? Find out today!

'Revenge!'

On this week's episode of Here Are Words, Cameron and Mike take a look at the concept of manliness! Join us for a discussion on the origins of gender, the evolution of masculinity across cultures, and the current identifiers of manliness in contemporary media. So sit back with your tubs of bacon, stop polishing your Harley, and enjoy the show!

'Manliness!'

​In today's episode, Cameron and I delve into the history and evolution of the term 'blockbuster.' We cover a lot of ground in today's show: the British Royal Air Force, mechanical sharks, space operas, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, and Iron Man abroad.

'Blockbuster!'

Thanks for joining us for the first official episode of Here Are Words, a new conversational podcast about media, science, and nerd culture in general. Each week, we select a word that we find relevant or meaningful in our lives (and hopefully yours, as well), and provide inarticulate commentary, conversation, and cringe-inducing humor. This week, to mark our first episode, we'll be discussing the word "First"! In this episode, we talk about the first "first," the philosophical conundrum of the chicken and the egg, and Cameron's first foray into fatherhood.

'First!'

Join us as we select a word that we find interesting or meaningful, and bring you history, trivia, and (hopefully) some profound insight into our relationship with that word. For more words - spoken as well as written - visit www.herearewords.com!
