The Interview: Creating alongside diagnosis with Dr Angela Chan

What happens when a terminal diagnosis means you might not have ten years? In the final episode of this series Tricia interviews academic, researcher, singer and most importantly, close friend, Dr Angela Chan. After being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer in early 2025, Angela faced the question most of us hope never to confront: what do I do with less than a year left on this planet? In this moving and unmissable episode Tricia and Angela talk about overcoming your fears, the evolution of a creative practice and the healing potential of creativity. What could you achieve in ten months, ten days, or even ten minutes?
