Real Talk on Men’s Mental Health & More
Introducing a UK podcast that whole-heartedly encapsulates the essence of its intentions. Cornwall family-men Dave and Steve host the crucial and often hilarious podcast 2fellaz, and lead with relentlessly candid conversations about any and all men’s issues – from mental health to the bigger questions in life.
An insightful and quite revitalising listen, 2fellaz Podcast sees the hosts approach a variety of topics in an unfiltered and authentic fashion. Noting dozens of episodes already uploaded, the show continues to expand upon its own commitment to leaving no stone unturned, and as such, by the very nature of its discussions, seeks to overcome the issue of men feeling unable to talk things out or get things off their chest.
Far from melancholic in its approach, 2fellaz drives with precisely the sarcasm and banter that most commonly lights up a space shared with friends. It then proceeds to delve into genuine stories that range unexpectedly from the likes of Growing Up, Getting Old, and the Influence Of Fathers, to the darker depths of Suicide & Loneliness, Euthanasia, and even the hosts’ own insights on Giving Birth – something I don’t believe has been discussed quite so openly by a group of men on air before.
There’s a certain fearlessness to the approach of Dave and Steve, and it’s this quality, this ability to talk, to reignite the power of a good old chin-wag, that is needed in order to counter the rise of men feeling like they have nowhere to turn.
To hear these two fathers dig into the details and genuine experiences of life, which of course do commonly include the horrors and wonders of giving birth, is absolutely welcomed and perhaps even essential in today’s world. The disconnect and division of recent decades is a huge part of why there’s been such a drastic rise in suicide rates; three quarters of which are at the hands of men. To suffer in silence is often thought of as the manly man’s way, but it’s rarely the way to a peaceful or fulfilled life.
This balancing of humour and vulnerability is massively refreshing, and for the good men out there who are struggling to find their people or to feel at ease within the modern world, there’s plenty within the realism and laughter of the 2fellaz Podcast that reaches out to connect.
