Wednesday on Eight Forty-Eight, we ask the age-old question: What does it mean to be a man? Joel Stein takes a crack at the question in his new book, Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity, and with us on air. The Time magazine writer, who admits to using an Easy-Bake Oven as a kid, started thinking about manhood when he found out he was having a son. To join the conversation live, call 312.923.9239.

Singer-songwriter Damien Jurado, who hits up Schubas Wednesday night and is touring with his latest release, Maraqopa, plays music during the hour.
