The Young Tongues Podcast is a space for honest, unfiltered conversations about life with and after tongue cancer.Hosted by founder Barbara Fountain and fellow survivors, Jamie and Stef, the podcast brings together real patient voices, expert insights, and the conversations that don’t usually happen in clinical settings — from diagnosis and treatment to long-term effects, identity, and everything in between.Young Tongues is a global support charity for people aged 18–64 diagnosed with tongue cancer. Built from lived experience, it exists to make sure no one faces this diagnosis alone — providing community, practical support, and a platform to amplify the patient voice.Through this podcast, we share stories, challenge assumptions, and work towards a future where young people are diagnosed earlier, better supported, and truly understood.Whether you’re a patient, survivor, carer, clinician or researcher — you’re part of this conversation.https://www.youngtonguesglobal.com/  Hosted on Acast.
