Is exercise better than therapy? This is a question Dan once got asked in his side gig as a "psychologist on social media". And who better to have this conversation with than someone (that being Calum) who is big into their fitness and also big into their therapy? This is an insightful and (as always) reflective conversation about all things exercise, therapy, and male identity.

If you are a woman, you are more than likely familiar with the "mental load." If you are a man, possibly less so. However, even in the most progressive relationships between men and women, women may still hold more invisible labour. In this episode, through some candid self-disclosure, Calum and Dan reflect on what contributes to women's mental load and offer some thoughts on what men could do to lighten this particular burden.

In this, the first episode of The Uncommon Bloke Podcast hosts Calum and Dan discuss men and birthdays and the idea that for some men, it is "just another day." Using their own testimonies and those of men they contacted for the podcast, they hypothesise why that might be.
