From Apple News In Conversation: Nearly a year ago, Robert Prevost became Pope Leo XIV, the first pope in history from the U.S. His papacy so far has been relatively calm — until recent weeks, when a sharp public conflict with President Trump over the Iran war thrust him onto the political stage. Scott Detrow, host of NPR’s All Things Considered and coauthor of the upcoming American Pope: Leo XIV’s Road From the South Side of Chicago to Vatican City, joins guest host Sam Sanders to explore what it means to have an American pope who understands U.S. politics — and why his influence may be felt far beyond the Catholic Church.

  • Hey there, Sam Sanders here.

  • Before we start today's episode, I have a question for you.

  • We are working on an episode about men in America today.

  • There's a big gap between the men we're told we should be and the men we actually are.

  • We want to hear about that gap from you.

  • Tell us about a moment when you felt it.

  • Maybe it was something you were taught about being a man that never quite fit.

  • Maybe it 's a standard you 've been held to by your family,

  • your culture, your own expectations that you 've never been able or never wanted to meet.

  • Use your iPhone's voice memos app to record yourself.

  • Tell us your name, where you're from, and your story.

  • Please try to keep it to about a minute or less.

  • And then send it to us.

  • We're at InConversation at Apple. com.

  • We might include your voice on the show.

  • Thanks.

  • This is In Conversation from Apple News.

  • I'm Sam Sanders, in for Shamita Basu.

  • Today, what an American pope means for the U.S.

  • We are approaching the first anniversary of Pope Leo XIV becoming the first American pope in history.
