The Wolf In The Room

The Wolf In The Room

Genuine and real talk for men and the people who stand beside them. Hosted by Nick Mair, this podcast dives into the unspoken struggles many men face but rarely voice: mental health battles, identity crises, burnout, and the pressure to keep it all together. With raw honesty and a bit of offbeat humour, Nick brings stories from his own journey and conversations with guests who’ve fought their own black dog. Whether you’re a man in the trenches or someone who cares deeply for one, these episodes offer insight, connection, and tools for navigating life’s hardest moments.
