This week on Who We Are Now with Izzy and Richard Hammond, we welcome the absolutely brilliant Stephen Manderson, perhaps better known to you as Professor Green. After losing his dad to suicide at the age of just 24 years old, Stephen found himself as the voice of a generation after the release of the single Read All About it with Emile Sandé. Together, Stephen, Izzy and Richard talk about the kind of masculinity learnt from a council estate in Hackney, how the tragic death of his father shaped him as a man, and how he navigates fatherhood now with his partner Karima.If you've been affected by any of the themes in this episode, please consider contacting the following resources: The Samaritans helpline: 116 123Confidential Emotional Support Line: 01708 765200Sane mental health line: 0300 304 7000Listen on Global Player to hear the next episode a whole day earlier than anywhere else.
