Sports. Guns. Some things just scream machismo. The latest edition of AudioFiles looks at worlds where men and masculinity are the standard – and how that’s changing.  Our reporters examine gun culture in Missouri and visit an old world “guy hang out” in a gentrifying neighborhood. We also meet a woman who helps boys from rough neighborhoods become college men through boxing and academics. Guitarist Justin King joins us for a live acoustic set in the studio.
