Couple O' Nukes
Couple O' Nukes is a self-improvement podcast that tackles dark subjects to cultivate life lessons, build communities, make quiet voices heard, and empower others. Hosted by Mr. Whiskey — a U.S. Navy veteran, author, preacher, comedian, and speaker — the show blends real experiences, faith, science, and comedy in harmony.
Here, mental health, suicide prevention, addiction recovery, military matters, faith, fitness, finances, mental health, relationships, and mentorship, among many subjects, take center stage through conversations with expert guests and survivors from around the globe. The idea is that you leave better than when you came, equipped with the knowledge and encouragement to enact change in either your own life or in those around you.
