Bro-ing Pains
Bro-ing Pains is the podcast about redefining masculinity, feelings, and the occasional pun. Co-hosted by Papa Chad (a licensed therapist) & Carlos (a theater kid turned self-proclaimed Corporate Papi), this show dives into the conversations that live somewhere between your therapist's office and the group chat.
Whether you're emotionally avoidant, anxious, or just straight up awkward: Pull up a chair. Make yourself comfortable. You're in the right place.
New episodes drop every other Thursday. Join the conversation on IG/TikTok @broingpains and email us your listener letters at broingpainspod@gmail.com.
