À propos de cet audio

Men don’t talk about cancer. They should.

Walk It Off is a no-BS, three-episode series for men with cancer who are tired of going through this alone. No soft-focus inspiration. No sugarcoating. Just real conversations about what it means to be a man facing cancer in a world that still expects you to tough it out and keep quiet.

Men often delay care, stay silent, and suffer in isolation because they’ve been told asking for help makes them weak. That silence leads to late diagnoses, fewer options, and little support for the mental and emotional toll cancer takes. And for men in certain communities, the barriers are even higher.

This series breaks through that. Patients, advocates, and experts who get it talk about what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to change. How to get the right care. How to push past stigma. How to live your life without losing yourself along the way.

More men are speaking up. More communities are forming. But this fight isn’t over—and neither is this conversation. Walk It Off keeps it moving.

    Michael Kramer was 19 when cancer ambushed his life. He went from surfing Florida beaches to chemo, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant that left him alive but carrying a chronic disease. He had necrosis in his knees and elbows, lost his ability to surf for years, and found himself stuck in hospitals instead of the ocean. Yet he adapted. Michael picked up a guitar, built Lego sets, led support groups, and started sharing his story on Instagram and TikTok.

    We talk about masculinity, identity, and what happens when the thing that defines you gets stripped away. He opens up about dating in Miami, freezing sperm at a children’s hospital, awkward Uber-for-sperm moments with his brother, and how meditation became survival. Michael lost his father to cancer when he was a teen, and that grief shaped how he lives and advocates today. He is funny, grounded, and honest about the realities of survivorship in your twenties. This episode shows what resilience looks like when you refuse to walk it off and choose to speak it out loud instead.

    Rocks Need Rocks

    Daniel Garza had momentum. Acting roles, directing gigs, national tours lined up. Then anal cancer stopped everything. Radiation wrecked his body, stripped him of control, and left him in diapers, staring down despair. His partner, Christian Ramirez, carried him through the darkest nights, changed his wounds, fought hospitals, and paid the price with his own health. Christian still lives with permanent damage from caregiving, but he stayed anyway.

    Together they talk with me about masculinity, sex, shame, friendship, and survival. They describe the friendships that vanished, the laughter that kept them alive, and the brutal reality of caregiving no one prepares you for. We get into survivor guilt, PTSD, and why even rocks need rocks. Daniel is now an actor, director, and comedian living with HIV. Christian continues to tell the unfiltered truth about what it takes to be a caregiver and stay whole. This episode gives voice to both sides of the cancer experience, the survivor and the one who stands guard.
