However as true as it has been, we have not only the power, but the responsibility to redefine what a healthy masculinity looks like for us.

We can't get to a place o...

April 24, 2019 02:07 - 31 minutes - 43.9 MBAdmit it. At some point whether it was 10 years ago or 10 days ago, you've experimented in some type of way with your hair. Growing up, YouTube videos and Instagram pages dedicated to Black haircare weren't the norm so experimenting with unhealthy hair products and practices were Black rites of passage. And when it comes to Black men, as long as our shape up is tight, we're all good right? Naw. Growing up we put all types of wild shit in our hair from sporting waves, to our sister's Lus...
Who Cares About the Black Man?
April 10, 2019 00:13 - 1 hour - 95.5 MBLeft out. Forgotten. Not cared for. Do any of these resonate for you as a Black man? Sometimes as Black men we feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. On average, our life expectancy is the lowest, our suicides rates are at an all-time high, mass incarceration and police brutality are everyday issues and many of us feel we don't have enough spaces to be vulnerable with our most pressing mental health issues. On top of that, we hear our sisters, as justified as it is at times, tell us...

Ball Don't Lie | Masculinity & The Black Athlete
March 12, 2019 17:52 - 1 hour - 98.1 MBOur personal hoop dreams for the NBA ended years ago, but as avid fans of the basketball, football, baseball and other sports we clearly had a vested interested in this week's episode.

The fire, passion, competitive spirit and in some cases aggressiveness that sports fosters can help create a healthy masculinity, but what happens when that shit becomes toxic? And if we'r...
What Should Black Men Know About Feminism?
February 27, 2019 03:17 - 1 hour - 119 MBWith the rise of social & political activism movements picking up steam on social media in the last 4-5 years, we've seen several topics usually relegated to academic circles enter mainstream conversations. Feminism being a major one. Generally speaking, we believe this trend to be a positive one, however many times as men, we have failed to really grasp what Feminism is and specifically what Black Feminism really is. It's important for us to have this conversation because there are ...

Daps & Hugs, Mean Mugs, & Platonic Touch
February 13, 2019 02:46 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBWhen's the last time you embraced your boy for more than the usual dap + hug combination? We're talking a good, long lasting 5-10 second hug. It's probably been awhile, right? Well if you're anything like us, we can certainly relate and for good reason. For most of us, we're usually taught that the two types of acceptable touch are reserved for the 2 F's: fucking or fighting. So anything longer than the usual dap+hug makes us extremely uncomfortable. So that brings us to today's epis...
You're More Than Your Dick | The Fetishisation Episode
February 05, 2019 16:08 - 1 hour - 94.8 MBThis week on Let's Talk Bruh we talk about the revolving door of fetishisation. Often times, if our masculinity revolves around sex, we unintentionally become complicit in our own fetishisation. There is a history in this country going back to slavery of both white men and women using our bodies for labor, sex included. When we weren't in control of our bodies, we subsequently lost control of the portrayal of our bodies in media. Thus creating a particular narrative, stereotype, and racis...
