About this listen

Man vs Mind is, spoiler alert, all about what's going on inside a man’s mind. Tim and J are two average guys, one mic each, and zero shame in chatting about everything about men's mental health that they usually keep to themselves. From therapy and fatherhood to anxieties, hang-ups, obsessions, gym guilt and crying at TV ads, it’s real talk without the preach.


No experts, no fixes - just honest, funny, sometimes painfully relatable conversations about the mental health stuff that sits beneath the veil of “yeah, I'm not too bad thanks.”


We're trying to normalise guys talking about their mental health, and if what we're doing helps just one other man feel like they're able to just... I dunno... chat about what's going on in their head, then that's mission accomplished as far as we're concerned.


We hope you'll enjoy the ride as we deep dive inside the mind of the average guy.


Disclaimer: neither of us are mental health professionals, we don't dispense psychological advice, just anecdotes and perhaps a bit of taboo-busting as we chat about the things that don't normally get said.

We'd love to hear from you – the good, the bad, the hilarious, the savage – anything!

  • Man vs Ageing – Part Two: Is it possible to slow down time?
    Jul 14 2025

    Is it just us, or is time absolutely sprinting lately? Like, seriously, chill out please Father Time.


    In Part Two of our ageing mini-series, Tim and J try to get their heads around the weird acceleration of life. Why do the years feel shorter the older we get? Is it all the responsibility? The anxiety? Or just the fact that school summers used to feel like forever?


    We talk memory, mindfulness, the effects of mental health on how we experience time – and whether it’s actually possible to slow it all down. (Spoiler: J won’t be meditating any time soon.)


    Then, it’s time to dig out your emotional playlists for a section we’re calling The Soundtrack of our Lives – the songs that instantly transport us back. From Barbie Girl to Muse, to Tim’s wedding night (steady), we explore how music holds memories tighter than our brains ever could. Check out the playlist so far on Spotify in the link below.


    And finally, Tim tells a story. A real one. About his dad, a fishing trip, and a man who could very well have been a time-travelling Tim... bear with us... Is it just an INCREDIBLY weird coincidence, or something else entirely?

  • Man vs Ageing – Part One: The (old) man in the mirror
    Jul 7 2025

    Who’s that old, tired man staring back from the bathroom mirror? Oh wait – it’s us.


    In the first part of our Man vs Ageing mini-series, Tim and J face the creeping signs of getting older – dodgy knees, deepening eye bags, shifting friendships, and the subtle emotional wobble that comes when your face starts to match how you feel.


    We talk about how our bodies have changed since becoming dads, how our social circles have naturally narrowed, and what it feels like to question whether you’re ageing “well” – or just ageing.


    We also trail what’s coming up in the series – the passing of time, the music that shaped us, milestone moments, and the idea that ageing doesn’t have to be a decline… it could be an evolution.
