Join us as author, radio host and podcaster Russell Rowland returns to Roscoe to discuss his new memoir Be a Man: Raised in the Shadow of Cowboys with John Miller.

Be a Man is told with a specific focus on what it means to grow up in the West as a male. Rowland, a fourth generation Montanan whose mother grew up on a cattle ranch, explores how his upbringing and those of his parents shaped their family in terms of how to approach emotional issues like death, alcoholism, domestic violence and general failure. He also explores how the media and the history of the West create a dynamic that is hard to escape when one absorbs certain mixed messages about what it means to be a man: how to treat women, how to deal with conflict and how to find your own way through a complicated world.
