Welcome to So What with Kevin Lee, a podcast for those who give a f**k - This week, we talk about the link between mental health and social media — from the pressure to stay relevant, to the cruelty people face when they’re vulnerable online. We discuss Babil Khan’s breakdown, Misha’s struggle with numbers— and ask when grief becomes content and pain needs packaging — what does that say about us?

In this episode of So what, we discuss the tragic suicide of Manav Sharma and talk about the lack of safe spaces for men, especially Indian men due to our patriarchal structures.

We discuss how society can do more to support men's mental health and break down the barriers preventing men from seeking help.

We also speak to a therapist for a deeper insight into men's mental health and how Indian men are showing up at spaces like therapy.

Welcome to So What with Kevin Lee, a podcast for those who give a f**k - This week, we look at all the havoc that China’s Deepseek AI is causing (especially on billionaires), and whether India should be getting into the AI race purely out of FOMO. Also, we give our takes on Udit Narayan’s forced kissing spree and ask why we’re all treating this like some sort of joke. Later, we look back at the Coldplay concert and why we’re feeling kinda patriotic about it.
