Episode Details

In this episode, I sit down with Noah May—journalism graduate, multi-show creator, and host of Lethal Venom—to dive into the messy, honest realities of mental health, storytelling, and building a voice when the world would rather you keep quiet. Noah opens up about battling depression and anxiety since age 13, the turning point that led to his diagnosis, and how music, therapy, and an unwavering mother’s support helped him push through his darkest seasons.

We talk candidly about stigma—especially for men—why silence can be dangerous, and how his podcast became a place where blunt truth beats performative “awareness.” We also get into the grind behind podcasting: editing, booking, rankings, and the real work it takes to deliver meaningful conversations—plus a few laughs about leaderboard rivalries and the day a blue cat guested on a show.

If you’ve ever felt unseen or stuck, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.

Catch last night’s episode with Deacon Dr. Kevin Cummings on Rumble.com/JoeRooz (and on YouTube@JoeRooz). Join us live weeknights at 7 PM CT/8 PM ET, plus our rotating Saturday crypto show with Marisa Lee and Sunday Bible Study at 2 PM CT.

If you’re struggling, consider reaching out to a licensed professional—help is real, and it helps.
