Dear Lads with Ivan Okello
Hosted by Ivan Okello, Dear Lads is a conversation on the topics and themes that impact males of all ages and backgrounds. We explore the vast universe of men’s lives covering topics such as mental health, fatherhood, sex, creativity, friendship, work-life balance among others.
In each episode, we invite one expert guest to guide us through making sense of each topic. The podcast is for everyone but touches topics that impact male-identifying people at work, at home and everywhere in-between.
