Hosted by Dave, a private chef who survived a devastating house fire, and Steve, a marketing CEO who endured childhood abuse, the podcast delves into the personal struggles and experiences that men face.
Recorded in Dave’s living room, the podcast offers a unique and uncut approach to discussing men’s mental health. Each episode features a live and unscripted conversation between the two hosts, reflecting the real-time processing of emotions and experiences that many men go through but seldom discuss openly.
“2 Fellaz” provides a safe space for men to explore a range of topics, including love, work-life balance, happiness, ageing, trauma, and mental health. Dave and Steve bring their own unique perspectives and personal stories to the table, making for a relatable and honest conversation. Listeners feel like they are part of the discussion, thanks to the podcast’s unscripted, unrehearsed, and unedited format.
“Our podcast was born from our own need to cope with our pasts and the realization that talking openly could help others,” says Dave. “Our unscripted and unedited approach makes our listeners feel like they are right there with us, in the living room, part of the conversation.”
Steve adds, “This podcast is about creating a space where men can hear their own fears and challenges echoed in our stories.

This podcast strips away the gloss and gets to the heart of what it means to struggle, to survive, and to support one another.”
