About Diary of a Mad Black Man

Diary of a Mad Black Man is a mental health podcast hosted by Gio The PodFather, equal parts personal diary and honest conversation, documenting one Black man's real-time journey through mental health challenges since 2019. Solo diary entries recorded from the car, the couch, and the hard moments sit alongside interviews with mental health advocates, therapists, authors, and brothers who get it. Healing in public. Hurting in private. All of it on the record. Some people journal. Gio The PodFather records. Audio only. You have to listen.
