Bro-ing Pains
Bro-ing Pains is the show for men, and for anyone who’s ever loved one. Through vignettes and listener stories, we explore the conversations that live somewhere between your therapist’s office and the group chat.
Hosted by Chad Fraga, LMFT & Carlos (a theater kid turned self-proclaimed “Corporate Papi”), this show blends humor, lived experience, and mental health insight.
New episodes every other Thursday.

The Hidden World of Depression in Men
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When men shut down, blow up, or run from their feelings altogether, it isn’t just a personal issue, it’s a public health concern.
In this extended trailer for Season 2, we pull back the curtain on how men hide low self-esteem and how it often shows up as anger, avoidance, productivity, and escape.
This season explores how those patterns don’t stay contained within the individual, they spill into relationships, families, workplaces, and entire communities. We take a deep dive into anger as a mask, numbness as survival, cultural pressure to “hold it together,” and the loneliness that hides in plain sight.
If Season 1 was about starting the conversation, Season 2 is about naming what men are really carrying and learning how to set it down, for their own well-being and for the people who love them.
