According to our guest, for the past 100 years men have operated under a “Male Code” that associates masculinity with strength and silence. We explore how this behavior affects emotional health, and how men can change. We also learn why the Ebola virus spread so quickly last year, talk to a political analyst about the latest entrants into the 2016 presidential race, and check in with our state government reporter about some budget news out of the Joint Finance Committee.
