  • Ep 28 - Guys, We Need To Talk About Our Nuts.
    Feb 20 2026

    In this episode, I look at 2 things specifically related to guys and no, I'm not talking about the 2 nuts - I'm talking about testosterone and sperm.

    I cover some of the issues around declining testosterone and sperm issues, what's causing these issues as well as why it's important, and then look at what we can do to support ourselves around these 2 vital aspects of being a guy.

  • Cha and Chat Series Ep 11 - Being a good guy, suicide, and South Asian living
    Feb 15 2026

    A wide ranging convo for this one!

    I was always a nice guy growing up, and still think of myself as a nice guy in a lot of ways. But if I had been a good guy instead, things could have been different.

    Now mental health is something I've talked about a bit, and our guest today has his own views on depression, and a new perspective of things after his friend voluntarily made the final journey to the other side.

    We also talk about South Asian living as Brown guys and some of the challenges of it. And there's one tip or bits of life advice we'd share to any young South Asian male.

  • Ep 26 - Brown Fathers, Masculinity, and Vulnerability
    Feb 6 2026

    Ah the stoic Brown father. The old school masculine type who faces any hardship without saying a word.

    The right way to go about things? Probably not.

    I'm looking at how stoic fathers can shape family dynamics and how we can use vulnerability to create better relationships for some of our father figures or male role models in our lives.
