Hello, my name is Reverend Odell Cleveland, just a 64-year-old normal guy who recently experienced prostate health-related issues. Once, I started sharing my experience with other men and their loved ones. I quickly discovered that many of us shared experiences, but no one talked about them. So, I founded and hosted the P is for Prostate Podcast to spread awareness about early detection, saving, and improving the lives of men and their loved ones.
