Introducing "2 Fellaz": The Podcast That Brings Raw, Unfiltered Conversations on Men's Mental Health to the Forefront

In a podcasting world filled with polished celebrity shows, “2 Fellaz” emerges as a beacon of raw, unedited truth. Hosted by Dave, a private chef whose life was forever changed by a devastating house fire, and Steve, a marketing CEO who endured childhood abuse by his stepfather starting at age six, this podcast brings their deeply personal conversations into the public sphere, shedding light on men's mental health issues.

Recorded in the very setting where Dave and Steve found solace—Dave’s living room—each episode of “2 Fellaz” is a live, uncut conversation. This unique approach reflects the real-time processing of emotions and experiences that many men face but seldom discuss openly.

"2 Fellaz" offers a safe space for men to explore a wide range of topics—love, work-life balance, happiness, ageing, trauma, and mental health—through the lens of two individuals who bring unique perspectives and personal stories to the table. The podcast is unscripted, unrehearsed, and untouched by post-production, qualities that make listeners feel like they’re right there with Dave and Steve, part of the conversation.

"Our podcast was born from the need to cope with our pasts and the realisation that talking openly could help others," says Dave. "It’s unscripted, unrehearsed, and untouched by post-production—qualities that make our listeners feel like they’re right there with us, in the living room, part of the conversation."

Steve adds, "This is about creating a space where men can hear their own fears and challenges echoed in our stories. Having been abused by my stepfather from the age of six, I have yet to find a professional person who truly understands my trauma. There are many amazing professionals with degrees, but their lack of lived experience often leaves a gap. This podcast strips away the gloss and gets to the heart of what it means to struggle, to survive, and to support one another."

"2 Fellaz" has already resonated with listeners across the UK, with many reaching out to share their own experiences and traumas. This connection underscores the podcast's relatability and the importance of its mission.
