21 LUG 2020 · Welcome to the 20th Episode of the 100+ Podcast, a podcast which brings together stories of people affected by cancer. This is the final episode of Season 1, in which we have had 19 amazing guests and over 1000 downloads. So thank you to everyone! Sashia Palmqvist (founder of A Friendly Movement and guest on episode 12 of this podcast) interviews Helena Traill (founder of 100 Stories) in this bumper 1 hour episode. They talk about why and how Helena created the 100 Stories Book and 100+ Podcast.

14 LUG 2020 · For episode 19 of the 100 Plus podcast, the penultimate episode of season one, I interviewed not one, but two guests: Claudia Knowles and founder of Black Women Rising Leanne Pero. They both shared their cancer stories and then we discussed Claudia’s current project for her Masters of Research in Health and Design at Imperial College London. She is creating a breast cancer journal which shows how the power of narrative and expression can be extremely useful to any large event in life. This journal is aimed at women who have finished active primary breast cancer treatment within the last 3 to 12 months. Leanne was on the co-design group, so it was great to chat to both of them about an exciting up and coming resource that I am sure will help many women! If you would like to get involved with testing of the journal, you can find Claudia on twitter @ClaudRKnowles

7 LUG 2020 · Today’s guest is Nicheless Dey. Nic was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2015. He had ignored his lumps for three to five years and so now is very vocal about his diagnosis to make sure no one else makes the same mistake. Nic is story number 98 in 100 Stories Book and in the first paragraph wrote ‘please, please don’t be an idiot like me. Go get yourself check out’. For this episode Nic shares with us his experience of going through a round of radiotherapy during a pandemic. He recorded sound bites over the 15 fractions. So the podcast starts with this 5 minute sound bite, then followed by an interview!
