  • Misogynistic hate speech

    Leaving this here because they delete any negative comments on their social media. This podcast is disgusting and harmful. Any young men seeking mental health advice - please don’t listen to this. Seek professional help.

  • Missed the mark

    Men’s mental health absolutely needs to be spoken about and supported more but this podcast is NOT it. Terrible listen and so not helpful for mens mental health.
