14. ‘’Glen”: Getting diagnosed with Testicular Cancer aged 32
Welcome to episode 14 of The Penis Project Podcast. Today, we speak with Glenn. Glenn was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer at the age of 32. That was three years ago. And fortunately, according to him, his life is now back to normal. Glenn talks about his experience from the time symptoms appeared to that time when he decided to have his check-up (6 months after experiencing signs and symptoms), to eventually going through the operation, and to changing his perspective on life after everything that happened. Glenn’s advice to anyone experiencing some symptoms? ‘There’s nothing to be ashamed of, go see the doctor’. ;) ------ Testicular Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in young men between 18-35, affecting 1-2% of the population.

12. “Naomi’’- Meet the woman who had her prostate removed. Transexuality in Prostate Cancer
Welcome to episode 12 of The Penis Project Podcast. Today, we speak with Naomi. Naomi is a male to female trans woman. Please listen as she shares her story in a heartfelt, honest exchange. From overcoming her prostate cancer at 47, her challenges to becoming the woman she is now, and to advocating the importance of frequent PSA checks. We hope this interview will educate and assist more in reducing ignorance about trans folks and positively, ripple into respect. As Naomi said, "We're not weird, we're human beings - we have the right to live". We have tried to cover topics you have wanted to ask but didn’t think you could such as: experience of discrimination and acceptance, difference of crossdresser from transgender, being called queer, and saying goodbye to the penis. Below are helpful links of the things mentioned in the podcast: Charlie Martin - the first trans to join the 24 Hour Le Mans competition.

9. ‘’Percy’’ – Prostate Cancer in the family. A MOVEMBER conversation
Welcome to episode 8 of The Penis Project Podcast, this is the place to come to find out everything you've always wanted to know about men's health but were too embarrassed to ask.

The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at https://au.movember.com, which originated in Australia in 2004 and is now a global entity. Today we hear Percy’s story. Percy was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 years after his father. He did not take the diagnosis seriously to begin with and waited 6 months before seeing the urologist, however 3 years down the track he is going well and is 90% back to pretreatment functionality. Sadly it is a different story for his father. This episode is a reminder that early detection and treatment are the key to good outcomes. The Penis Project is sponsored by PROST!
