## Resource

Dr. Kaveh Hoda welcomes two guests to the House of Pod: child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Chase T.M. Anderson and former NFL punter Chris Kluwe. A record-setting eight-year veteran of the Minnesota Vikings, Kluwe opens up about the open letter defending same-sex marriage that reshaped his career and public life. The conversation covers the physical toll of professional football — concussions, CTE, and the long-term health risks players face — alongside the culture of silence around player safety and advocacy in the NFL. Chase brings a mental health lens to the discussion, exploring how visibility and allyship from athletes affect LGBTQ+ communities.
