Fifty Shades of Dave: this podcast has been best described as a brutally honest, ‘warts and all’ exposé of the perception of male mental health in modern society; specifically, the north of England.
The story follows local radio hosts Rosie and Neil, whose show is going well until they get a tweet one evening from a man who needs their help. A man who says he isn’t coping. A man named ‘Dave’.
The brash and unashamed narrative unapologetically reflects actual life events of the writer and blends risqué, tongue in cheek humour with gut wrenching drama and
heartbreak, as told through the troubled character of ‘Dave’.
Warning: although episodes have been adapted for broadcast, the original series contains very strong language and themes of an adult nature from the outset. It also contains triggering accounts of grief and suicide.
