    Is self improvement the new fad diet?
    2026/04/15
    In this episode, Keith Benn unpacks the surge of motivation that comes with new beginnings—and questions what we’re actually feeding it. Are we fueling ourselves physically and mentally to feel our best, or drowning in endless self-help and online advice that keeps us feeling productive without doing the real work? This episode challenges the difference between consuming growth and living it. It pushes past surface-level motivation to confront the root—what we’re avoiding, what needs discipline, and what real change actually requires. Because becoming your best self isn’t about more information— it’s about honest action.

    Head & Neck [Game Stupid]: Are (heteronormative) gender norms in the Black dating scene still... it?
    2026/03/04
    In this episode Keith Benn takes on a question that continues to shape modern relationships: Are traditional gender roles in Black dating still relevant—or are we holding on to outdated expectations? From the idea of the working father and stay-at-home mother to broader assumptions about masculinity, femininity, and responsibility, Keith explores whether these heteronormative dynamics still hold wisdom in today’s world—or if the cultural script needs rewriting. Is tradition a stabilizing force for families, or has the modern dating landscape outgrown the roles we once accepted as the standard? Through thoughtful analysis and candid reflection, this episode invites listeners to reconsider what partnership, responsibility, and balance actually look like in contemporary relationships.
