So this month we’re trying out a new format: For the rest of October, we’ll be highlighting one important story from across the VICE digital network every week.

First up, VICE.com’s news editor Matt Taylor interviews Wilbert L. Cooper, a senior editor for the site and longtime contributor to VICE magazine. They discuss a recent story Wilbert wrote exploring the ways black men in America grapple with race and toxic masculinity. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
