The Male/Female Hour – Dennis Prager

UPDATE: I’m sorry to say that Dennis Prager’s radio shows can no longer be accessed for free.  As of March 31st, 2009, he started charging $6.95/mo or $54.95/yr for commercial-free access to his shows. This gives access to a “backlog of 3 weeks” plus “all kinds of bonus features.” The good news is that access to programs he recorded prior to March 31st is still available and free of charge!  So listen to some and see if you feel the cost is worth it for you.  Just use the link below…

A friend of mine introduced me to Dennis Prager. That is, I was introduced to his radio shows.

Are you familiar with him? He can be heard on the radio or online (his shows can be accessed via iTunes, too) and he speaks on many different topics.  Personally, I prefer listening to him via his website or iTunes so I can fast forward through the commercials! You can find his list of shows here, organized by date.

One of his shows is called The Male/Female hour. This used to be broadcast every Wednesday but it doesn’t seem to be happening that regularly recently.  At any rate, I highly recommend it.

The Male/Female Hour focuses on Male and Female behaviors and interactions. Be aware – since Dennis is a man, he speaks from the point of view of a man (of course!).  His goal with this show is (mostly) to let women know how men think and act and why.  Hearing what he has to say has enlightened me considerably.  I wish I’d heard these things many many years ago! Anyway, I’m glad this information and his ideas are available to me now.  I feel that I will be a better partner either in a dating relationship and/or in marriage for having listened.

I DO wish there was a female counterpart for Dennis Prager. I would love for men to hear the same sort of advice & information given from a female perspective.  Anyone want to try their hand at that?

Dennis Prager is a Jewish man. (Not all wisdom comes from Catholics.  :0) ) He has very conservative and traditional points of view.  Let me say that I personally don’t agree with everything he says but I do agree with the majority of what I’ve heard from him.  His advice is sound and and at times eye opening.

Please listen to a couple of his Male/Female Hours (which only last about 30 minutes when accessed via his website and skipping the commercials) and then come back here and let me know what you think. Be candid…I’m interested in YOUR point of view.

Warmly,

Manya

He also has a show on Fridays called The Happiness Hour on which he talks about how to be happy or, conversely, how to not be unhappy or depressed. I’ve not listened to this yet so if you do, please let me know if it’s also something that can be recommended here.  Given that we’ve all been made exceedingly unhappy  (and some of us thrown into depression) for varying periods of time by separation and divorce, this show could be very worthwhile.
