Spencer Kobren's The Bald Truth

Spencer Kobren, the founder of the American Hair Loss Association, supports other men suffering the condition in The Bald Truth.

Kobren speaks to young men, generally aged between 18 and 35, about their hair loss related concerns. Topics discussed on the program include the condition and its impact on men. It also takes a more general approach to men’s issues, and frequently tackles male sexual and lifestyle topics that do not directly relate to hair loss. The series looks to offer a kind of therapy to men who would not seek it in a formal setting.

The Bald Truth is unique in refusing to push any particular products, including Kobren's own books. The series originally began as a half-hour radio program in the late 90s. However over time it's evolved to become much longer and have an online video component.

The Bald Truth page on the GFQ Network contains a list of episodes, along with an abridged synopsis of each. Clicking the episode titles or the "continue reading" links takes viewers to the individual episode pages. These contain a complete episode synopsis and an embedded video player.

Controls along the base of the player window allow fans to pause and play the clips, adjust their volume, view them in full screen mode, and share them with friends. Links below the player window allow fans to listen to the episode's audio, or subscribe to audio and video channels on iTunes, Zune, and regular RSS feed.

Typically at least one episode is added to the channel each week. These are comprehensive, typically lasting around two hours. Parental guidance is recommened as some episodes contain sexual content and other adult themes.
