    Robert of Munky Fitness on Body Image, Food Shame, and Why Success Doesn't Equal Abs

    Host Richard Jones sits down with Robert, founder and CEO of Munky Fitness, a nutrition coach who spent years working in homeless services before realising the same skill — actually understanding why people do what they do — translated directly into coaching. Robert gets into why most people fail at their health goals not because they lack information, but because nobody's ever helped them understand their triggers and patterns around food. He talks protein, sleep, the shame baked into the term "cheat meal," and what his one-on-one program looks like in practice. Richard opens up about chasing an unachievable body image before finding the bear community, and Robert is refreshingly straight about the fitness industry selling results that aren't real for most people. The Bear World Podcast is the companion to Bear World Magazine, the world's only lifestyle magazine for the global bear community. Read more at bearworldmag.com

    Bryce Quartz on Sex Icon, Chronic Pain, and Making Queer Rap on His Own Terms

    Host Richard Jones sits down with New York rapper Bryce Quartz — known for viral tracks Come Pirate and Daddy Dick — to talk about his new single Sex Icon. Bryce gets candid about the botched hernia surgery that left him bed-bound for months, unable to walk or work, and how a second five-hour operation to remove the mesh slowly got him back on his feet. He talks about the making of Sex Icon, why it sounds different from his earlier stuff, and the thinking behind the music video — which features commissioned art inspired by Keith Haring, Basquiat, and Andy Warhol, drawing a line between the AIDS epidemic era and queer sex today. He also teases what's coming next: a New York Drill EP that'll show a very different side of him.

    Style Has No Size: Carlijn Cornelisse on Building Mr. Main Man

    Host Richard Jones meets Carlijn Cornelisse — Dutch menswear designer and founder of plus-size brand Mr. Main Man — for an inspiring conversation about fashion, confidence, and filling a gap the industry has long ignored. Carlijn shares her journey from a creative upbringing in Eindhoven, through seven years designing for international brands, to launching her own studio in 2019 and eventually founding Mr. Main Man. Unlike brands that simply scale up a medium, she builds every garment from the ground up using real measurements and premium fabrics in sizes XL to 5XL, guided by one belief: style has no size. Along the way she dishes out practical style advice for plus-size men, reveals her number one wardrobe staple, and calls out the most common fit mistake bigger guys make. The conversation ends on a genuinely moving note — a reminder that when clothes finally fit who you are, the confidence that follows can change everything.
