The importance of podcasts for men's mental health can't be understated in the modern day.

This medium not only provides valuable insights & knowledge, active listening skills but also plays a pivotal role in reducing stigma and promoting help-seeking behaviour. Here's a handful of podcast recommendations we found helpful or just damn entertaining.

S-Town

S-Town is brilliant, complicated, compelling and often painfully beautiful. The seven-part, true crime-ish series comprises a baffling, rapidly expanding set of mini stories, involving one narrative twist after another about murder, mental health and impending societal collapse. The podcast centres on John B, an eccentric, real-life Southern American gothic hero whose turbulent unrest fuels the series and constantly wars with his drive to create change and beauty in his rural Alabama community.

Funny Business

Described as a podcast for free thinkers and creators exploring business and life. Hosted by Robbie Hicks and Lachlan Bradford. They interview high achievers in a uniquely Australian way that just feels fun and genuine, like a good chat with your mates.

The Tim Ferriss Show

The Tim Ferriss Show is often ranked the #1 business podcast but it covers much more than just biz. Tim interviews world-class performers and has a knack for gleaning insightful advice and tools that helped build their success. It's hard to pick a specific episode here, just choose a person or topic you like, sit back, listen and learn.

Joe Rogan Experience

#1035 - Paul Stamets

Joe Rogan's back catalogue is huge and very hit or miss for me. So I think it's important to select just a couple of great episodes to get you through the weeds.
His talk with Paul Stamets is compelling and fascinating if you're into Mushrooms or Bees. Paul Stamets is a mycologist, author and advocate of bioremediation and medicinal fungi. 

#1543 - Brian Muraresku & Graham Hancock

Sticking with the subject of psychedelics another interesting episode is with Brian C. Muraresku, author of "The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name,". They explore the psychedelic roots of Christianity and Brian is simply a very, very intelligent man with a recall of texts that is mind blowing. 

Huberman Lab

The Huberman Lab podcast discusses neuroscience but simplified and applied to issues we all face in every day life. Basically how our brain and its connections with our body control our perceptions, behaviour and holistic health. Along with science-based tools to manage and improve our overall wellbeing. The host Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured professor at Stanford so he's highly credentialled, compassionate and obviously smart.
