Four years of ON BOYS podcast!

214 episodes, more than 900,000 downloads, and countless deep, moving moments. We've talked about vaping, sex, boys & body image, consent, connection, and misconceptions about boys. We wrestle with gender stereotypes, education, and the real-life struggles of living with boys.

Janet and Jen collectively devote up to 10 hours per week to ON BOYS podcast -- 10 hours spent finding and connecting with top experts; preparing for our interviews; researching topics; engaging with listeners, educators, and boys parents; and promoting and sharing our episodes because we firmly believe that helping adults understand boys' needs is one way we can change the world for the better.

You can help us help you  -- & help make the world a better place -- by subscribing to Building Boys Bulletin, Jen's weekly newsletter, and participating in Janet's Decoding Boys workshop.
