Insane In The Men Brain

Rich Wilson is a British comedian who figured out something smart: the best way to get men talking about mental health is to make it funny first. Insane In The Men Brain pairs comedy with genuine, vulnerable conversations about what's going on inside guys' heads. Each episode features Rich sitting down with a guest, usually another comedian or entertainer, and steering the conversation from laughs into surprisingly raw territory about anxiety, depression, addiction, and the pressure to seem like you've got it together. The show has been running since 2019 and has over 340 episodes in the archive. Episodes typically clock in around 50 to 60 minutes, which is enough time to go deep without overstaying. Rich has a gift for making his guests comfortable enough to actually say something real. The comedy background helps enormously here. When both people in the conversation are naturally funny, the heavy stuff doesn't feel heavy. It just feels like an honest talk between mates. The production is straightforward. No flashy editing, no dramatic music cues, no therapeutic jargon. Just two people having a conversation that happens to be about something important. Rich also runs a Patreon with bonus episodes for listeners who want more. Men's mental health podcasts can sometimes tip into territory that feels clinical or preachy, but Insane In The Men Brain avoids both. Rich treats the subject with the respect it deserves while refusing to take himself too seriously. For guys in their twenties who know they should probably talk about their feelings but don't know where to start, this show is a solid entry point. It proves that vulnerability and humor aren't opposites.
