  • Funny as H.

    He went all over in order to discover good content about Prostate cancer. He had awful luck. He also introduced me to fascinating people. I feel like I know Dr Walsh from Johns Hopkins, the marvelous man who invented some brilliant surgical techniques. Also, he educated me on the horrible statistics for Black men and this cancer. I can tell you- as a well educated woman - this is mind blowing.

  • Everyone with a prostate should be listening

    Why isn’t this at top of the charts? It’s well narrated, topical, informative and engaging. I stumbled upon it from a different podcast. Highly recommended.

  • Entertaining more than educational

    Fun story and good storytelling but those aren't why I listened - I wanted to learn. Cool music though. But also I wasn't listening for the music.

  • What a surprise!

    I was searching for 80’s music when I found Mr. 80%. The purpose is to educate people like me who know nothing about it, about the prostate and prostate cancer. I never knew I’d enjoy learning about this subject matter. Great job!
