In this bonus episode, Mark talks with writer and critic Jason Bailey about his new book on James Gandolfini—a revealing look at the man behind Tony Soprano. They dig into masculinity on screen, Gandolfini’s quiet emotional power, and why his legacy still shapes how men see themselves today. Plus: a reminder to check out this year’s Other Men Holiday Gift Guide.

Other Men is executive produced, hosted, and written by Mark Pagán. Mae Nagusky is our associate producer. Rebecca Seidel is our lead engineer. Original music by Fulton Street Music Group.
