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.


We both met on The Brain Tumour Charity’s Young Ambassador (YAM) Programme which began in 2024, and now it’s time for the next round of YAMs to take centre stage! So we’ve got Owen and Emma, two of our fellow YAMs, as well as Abi - the Senior Involvement Officer from The Charity - who leads the programme.


We talk about highlights, lessons, memories, and support for those wanting to apply.

The GlioBabes would like to dedicate this episode to Harry, Alexander and Evanne. Three incredible Young Ambassadors who sadly lost their lives due to their diagnosis.


Our guests share their personal experiences and opinions. We understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and what resonates with one person may not with another. We encourage open-mindedness and respect for diverse perspectives.
