<p>Behind the Pouch speaks to Keith Thomas (@keiththom2014), a man from Swansea, Wales who has seemingly embraced life since becoming an ostomate eight years ago. Keith is, among many other things, an award winning bus driver and has been nominated for the Positive Role Model Award for Disability at the National Diversity Awards 2020. In this week's podcast, Louise and Shona discuss Keith's journey, his milestones and how he keeps a positive mindset.</p>

Behind the Pouch with Clare Mee

Behind the Pouch is the podcast from abiggerlife.com and delivers a fortnightly dose of unscripted, unfettered chat with an ostomate from anywhere in the world. We believe that everyone has a story to tell and that a podcast can provide a platform for a whole new audience of ostomates to hear what 'a bigger life' means to someone else. We believe that a stoma shouldn't define you, it's just a small part of a bigger life. Like many of the ostomates that we speak to we do not take ourselves too seriously and, while the tools behind the podcast offer support and clinical advice, our podcast will showcase the people behind the pouch.
