Welcome to episode 11 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.

This month is Movember which is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at https://au.movember.com

Today we speak with Professor Declan Murphy who is a Consultant Urologist at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Australia. Declan specialises full-time in GU Oncology, prostate cancer in particular, and his private practice is based at Cancer Specialists in Melbourne.

Declan is also the cohost of a podcast called GU Cast with Dr Renu which is well worth a listen.
