The M-Balm Effect began as a raw idea in 2019—born from the mind of M-Balm (Harold Brush), who wanted to create a space where real conversations could happen without filters, fluff, or the fear of saying what needed to be said. What started as a personal passion project quickly evolved into something much more.
Over time, The M-Balm Effect grew to include a rotating cast of close friends who joined as co-hosts, helping shape the show’s unique blend of comedy, chaos, social commentary, and deep dives into music, crime, mental health, pop culture, and everything in between. The dynamic chemistry between M-Balm and his crew, combined with a variety of guests—from musicians and artists to everyday people with extraordinary stories—helped push the podcast beyond just another mic in the crowd.
From its humble beginnings in Rochester, NY, the show has carved out its own voice—sometimes serious, often hilarious, always real. Whether it’s dissecting controversial topics, spotlighting local talent, or diving headfirst into bizarre headlines, The M-Balm Effect is about speaking truth, asking the questions others are afraid to, and building a community that’s unafraid to feel, laugh, rage, and reflect together.
Welcome to The M-Balm Effect—uncensored, unapologetic, and always evolving.
