Are tweets a true town square or just neon static? In this M3 Bear Cast, host Malcolm Travers invites 22-year-old communications grad Jameson into a circle usually held by forty- and fifty-somethings. The result: sparks of insight across the age gap.

Together they probe:

• Whether social media builds community or breeds counterfeit intimacy.
• How hope can be both lifeline and shackle in long-distance “situationships.”
• The performance of masculinity in queer spaces—and who gets to call it “real.”
• Coming-out tales that range from quiet inevitability to surprise plot twists.
• Workplace closets, generational blind spots, and the price of respect.

It’s a candid, crackling conversation that punches through clichés and side-eyes easy answers. Pull up a chair in the den—fresh perspectives and hard questions await.
