Man Alive is three-part BBC Radio Wales series exploring one of the most urgent issues facing modern society: the mental health of men. Through candid conversations, personal testimonies and expert insight, presenter John Paul Davies ask why, despite growing awareness, so many men continue to struggle with loneliness, identity and emotional wellbeing.

Across three programmes, the series examines the devastating impact of male suicide, the pressures men face to succeed and perform, and the deeper questions of identity, purpose and belonging. Featuring voices from across Wales, including campaigners, mental health professionals, community groups and those with lived experience, Man Alive seeks to understand the challenges facing men today and explores where hope, healing and meaningful change might be found.

From grassroots support groups and powerful personal stories to challenging conversations about culture, family and wellbeing, Man Alive is an honest and thought-provoking journey into what it means to be a man in contemporary Wales. Above all, it asks an important question: how can we create a society where men are better equipped to thrive, connect and find hope?
