I Swear: Talking Tourette's with Carol Gilmour

In this episode, we sit down with the amazing Carol Gilmour, an artist, activist, and proud committee member of Tourette’s Scotland. We first met Carol through the group Artists for Indy, when she generously donated a set of her stunning paintings to the Indy Art Exhibition, a fantastic event which will be featured in a later podcast episode. Each artist nominated a charity to benefit from the proceeds—and Carol chose Tourette’s Scotland. But that’s not all… Carol also appears in the hit film I Swear, which just happened to be top of the UK box office the very weekend we recorded and was also the subject of a Scottish Parliament debate at Holyrood! 🎬  Indypodcaster Fiona and guest presenter Lynne dashed off to see the film, and then reunited with Carol for a warm and eye-opening conversation about art, activism, Tourette’s, and life in the spotlight.
