S1E12: Understanding Sickle Cell Disease: Up the M1 Takeover
Up the M1 Podcast hosts Danyelle and Olivia are on a quest to find out more about sickle cell and get a deeper understanding of what it's like to live with the disease.
Olivia and Danyelle live in Leeds and host their own podcast, Up the M1, in which they discuss everything from politics to pop music. In this takeover episode of Original Pilot Material, they find out more about a condition that affects thousands of people in the UK, predominantly those from African or Caribbean backgrounds: sickle cell disease. They chat to friends Anne and Onique about living with sickle cell and how it affects every aspect of their lives. It's a subject we don't hear a lot about and one that Danyelle and Olivia are keen to explore.
