The Life N Times Network

Hosts Natheer Brunson Jr. and Aaron Salada navigate the complexities of their 20s, offering listeners a blend of introspection, humor, and cultural commentary.
From the introspective discussions in "Of Music & Men," where Dre and Natheer dissect contemporary music and its cultural implications, to the candid reflections in episodes like "Healthy Habits," the podcast offers a raw and authentic look into personal growth and societal observations. Whether it's the spirited debates in "The Fight" series or the laid-back vibes of "Smoke Sessions," each episode invites listeners into a space of genuine conversation and shared experiences.
