TTT24Q with Michael Rosen

Interview 4

The aim of the TTT24Q interview series, is to help raise the profile of people with thyroid disease who are involved with The Thyroid Trust, explore their experiences and air some of the issues that matter to them. 

TTT 24 Questions is inspired by the 24 Fingers series by Emma Goode, which our Director, Lorraine, was interviewed for in May 2020, for International Thyroid Awareness Week.

Lorraine then interviewed thyroid cancer survivor, Joanna Dixon, in September 2020, for the first of our very own TTT 24 Questions, #TTT24Q. The series has developed since then and is ongoing.  Our most recent  interviewee is the author Michael Rosen, who has hypothyroidism.  

We are finding that the process of making the videos helps strengthen our relationships with some of our thyroid friends and means we all feel less alone.

Feedback so far has been really positive. The videos are a bit like a little thyroid chat show - something different for your viewing pleasure, or can be listened to like a podcast.

Let us know by commenting below if you enjoy watching the interviews and if you'd like to see more similar content - thyroid friends chatting and getting to know each other, with some surprises. Watch out in Joanna and Judith's interview for guest appearances by cute doggies, Hope and Poppy!

Joanna was our first guest interviewee because September is thyroid cancer awareness month and she has been volunteering with us to raise awareness and fundraise to support our vital work.  After her interview she went on to interview Judith Taylor, our chair of Trustees and a two times thyroid cancer survivor and Judith then went on to interview Karen George, another of our founding Trustees who  has Graves' Disease and is living without a thyroid.

You can watch all the videos in the TTT series and the prequel with 24 Fingers, below.
