‘Men Talk Mental Health' is a podcast co-hosted by two friends, Ayush (Los Angeles) and Venance (Mumbai). Join us as we discuss and explore our parallel mental health journeys through the heart of the pandemic in 2020 and beyond.

We don't have all the answers, and we definitely aren't mental health professionals. Still, we hope our stories inspire you to take your first step or help someone else with theirs.
