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.

How Media Shapes Masculinity | Relationships, Role Models & Pop Culture
In Part 1 of our 10-episode season on relationships, we explore how film, TV, and pop culture have shaped what men believe about masculinity and relationships.
From the frat-boy energy of American Pie and hyper-masculine bravado of Top Gun, to the emotional vulnerability in Moonlight and Love Island, we unpack how media continues to influence how men show up in relationships, often without even realizing it.
We also discuss the groundbreaking documentary Tough Guise by Jackson Katz, which explores the connection between media portrayals of men, toxic masculinity, and real-world violence.
