THE FIRST GLIOBABES LIVE SPECIAL!
The GlioBabes, a podcast created by two young women who were both diagnosed with brain tumours at a young age. Mel and Mol are creating a safe space to talk about their experiences and to raise awareness of brain tumours and ill health within the young population.
And we are LIVE! Back in November, Mel and Mol hosted a live podcast at FACT, Liverpool, with artist Nina Davies, and Mel’s fellow collaborators Eve and Luke, discussing the project MEET ME IN THE DIGITAL TWIN!

Nina collaborated with Eve, Luke and Mel — three young people from the Liverpool City Region who access support from The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust — to transform their lived experiences of cancer into an immersive world that unfolds like a sci-fi documentary. The group came together to imagine a fictional podcast, film, and immersive installation, which is on view at FACT Liverpool until 22 February, with free entry Wednesday-Saturday 11:00-18:00.
MEET ME IN THE DIGITAL TWIN was commissioned by FACT Liverpool in partnership with The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, Clatterbridge Cancer Charity, supported by Hays Travel Foundation, Marjory Boddy Charitable Trust, The Hemby Trust and Art Friends Merseyside.
