This episode of Check One Two is all about testicular cancer, early detection, and the importance of speaking up.
Host Paul, a testicular cancer survivor, sits down with playwright Ingram Noble and actor Lewis Gillon to discuss The Naked Neds — a powerful new play that tackles male mental health, testicular cancer awareness, and the devastating cost of silence.
Drawing from his own experience with testicular cancer, Paul connects personally with the play’s themes of fear, shame, and survival. Ingram shares how a real-life testicular cancer scare within his circle of friends inspired him to write The Naked Neds, and how the story shows young men grappling with loss, masculinity, and the struggle to talk about their health.
The conversation dives deep into the realities of testicular cancer — from spotting early warning signs, to the fear of facing a diagnosis, to the urgent need for better education and awareness among young men. They discuss why normalising testicular self-checks and making health conversations part of everyday life could be the key to saving lives.
The episode also highlights the role of charities like Cahonas Scotland, who are on the frontlines promoting testicular cancer education and encouraging men to check themselves regularly.
If you have been affected by testicular cancer, know someone who has, or simply want to understand why awareness is so critical, this conversation is essential listening.
Testicular cancer is treatable — but only if caught early. Talking about it, learning about it, and acting early can make all the difference.
