I Love My Job
I remember that feeling when I left university, wondering what I should do for a living. I wasn't drawn to anything in particular at that point (the inspiration came much later) and I wish someone had sat me down and said "take your time, it's a big decision, and don't let money be your only guide." In this podcast, we listen to people who have embarked on a career that means something to them. Not just a job, but a vocation. Some have known all along it was what they wanted to do, and others have changed direction mid-career. What is life like when your job feels like a part of who you are?

Suzie and Diane - therapeutic clowns
I first met a therapeutic clown a couple of years ago and I was captivated as he described what his work was about - walking into a hospital room in clown character, with his heart on his sleeve, and inviting the child in front of him to put aside for a moment all the difficulties and worries connected to their stay in hospital.
Then my path crossed a few months ago with Suzie and Diane, and I was delighted when they agreed to tell their story about what it means to be a therapeutic clown.
