Fathers Together podcast

Fathers Together is a podcast about young dads, imprisonment, and what it means to hold onto love, identity, and hope in the toughest of places.

Hosted by Roifield Brown, this deeply human series shares the real stories of five fathers from racially minoritised communities who became dads young and served time behind bars. Through interviews, reflection, and expert insights, the podcast explores how they stayed connected to their children, what they lost, and what they’re fighting to rebuild.

From bedtime stories told over the phone to the emotional cost of silence and stigma, Fathers Together shines a light on voices too often left out of the conversation on prisons, parenting, and masculinity.

Developed in collaboration with the Race Equality Foundation and based on research led by Dr. Anita Mehay and Professor Richard Watt, this podcast is part of a wider NIHR-funded study working to co-design parenting support with fathers inside five English prisons.

The Fathers Together is hosted by Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.

These are stories of rupture and repair. Of accountability and love. Of fatherhood behind bars — and what comes after.
