DEAR THYROID^TM

Tales From Thyietnam the Podcast, is official, and officially on, like hand tremors in a Graves’ disease patient that’s right, Thyrellas and Thyfellas. Our first audio podcast will be streamed on August 31^st As of right now, our show will be aired at the end of each month.

We will be interviewing renowned, magnificent guests with thyroid disease, as well as activists in their respective health related endeavors. The focus of our podcast is quite simple: “How has your disease informed, shaped, or reshaped your life and, or career, if at all?” We’ll learn a lot, laugh our asses off and get a little bit closer to finding our way back to ourselves.

Each podcast will be pre-recorded. We’ll announce the date of recording in advance on Dear Thyroid, Twitter and Facebook. Why, you ask, we’ll be taking 3 calls from our Dear Thyroid readers with questions for our guests, of course.

Chris Campbell,  will be producing and editing each podcast.  A,  bit about,  Chris,  he,  has played many roles. He has been part of the NB Filmmakers’ Coop for over 20 years and is past President. On a national level Chris has been vice-president and board member of the Independent Film and Video Alliance of Canada… Click to find out more about Chris.

September 30^th: Kairol Rosenthal Cancer didn’t make Kairol brave, outspoken, or grateful. She came that way.   But it did turn her into a writer.   Recently released by Wiley, her book Everything Changes: The Insider’s Guide to Cancer in Your 20s and 30s dispels myths like “You’re so lucky to have thyroid cancer!”, and is being widely read by young adults with cancer and autoimmune diseases.
