The Secret Addiction That Controlled Ore Oduba’s Life

TV presenter and broadcaster Ore Oduba joins us for an incredibly raw and unflinchingly honest conversation on pornography addiction, toxic masculinity, and grief.

Ore opens up about being introduced to explicit material at just nine years old and the devastating "duality" of spending 30 years hiding his addiction while living a highly successful public life.

This discussion dives deep into how repeated exposure to objectifying content rewires how young men see women, and how that culture feeds directly into the online manosphere. Following the tragic loss of his sister to suicide, Ore shares how he channeled his grief into purpose.

It's an urgent look at breaking the silence that stops men from seeking help, and the clarity that saved his life: for his children.

This episode covers the following themes: Addiction, Shame, Toxic Masculinity, Grief, and Recovery.
