S5-EP12: The Boy Who Spoke First: Noah May on Pain, Poetry, and Podcasting Through Depression

from Spirit Talk Show - Bedtime Stories for Grown Ups · host Doyle - STS

This week’s episode is raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. Doyle sits down with Noah May, host of Lethal Venom, a podcast known for its honesty, emotional depth, and refusal to sugarcoat the truth. Noah opens up about growing up without a father, navigating the shadows of clinical depression, and discovering the power of storytelling as survival. What begins as a conversation about creative expression becomes something much deeper: a testament to resilience, vulnerability, and the healing power of voice. In this episode, we explore: The true story behind Noah’s powerful Father’s Day episode How he learned to speak openly about depression, trauma, and survival A deeply personal reading of his original poem, Lonely Nights His love of dystopian fiction—and a custom Hunger Games-style story written just for him How Lethal Venom has become a platform for voices that don’t often get heard This conversation includes an original tribute and poem written in Noah’s honor—because on Spirit Talk Show, we don’t just talk about life stories. We celebrate them. Whether you’re walking through something hard or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a rare kind of connection—raw, real, and unforgettable.
