Man vs Mind – The men's mental health podcast
Two British men candidly discuss the anxieties of modern manhood, from body image to burnout, using their own lives as the primary case study.
This is a co-hosted chat show where two friends use their own lives as a running case study for men's mental health. Episodes are built around a specific, current struggle one of them is facing—be it anxiety about returning to work, obsession over fitness, or the stress of moving house—making the discussions immediate and grounded in real experience rather than abstract advice.
“Unlike expert-led or interview-based podcasts, Man vs Mind's strength is its peer-to-peer vulnerability. The hosts are figuring things out in real-time, sharing their anxieties and setbacks without pretending to have a solution, which makes the show feel more like a private conversation than a public broadcast.”
Who hosts this show
Man vs Mind is a podcast hosted by two British men, Tim and Jay, who share their personal struggles with mental health. They describe themselves as 'ordinary blokes' and explicitly state they are not mental health professionals, using their own anecdotes to break the silence around topics like anxiety, body image, and stress. Inspired by the podcast, Tim is pursuing a Master's degree in Psychology, while his co-host Jay is studying for a business Master's.
