Carolyn Mandersloot on being a palliative care nurse and comedian
Episode 9
Wednesday, 2 September, 2026
And now to another episode of my special Streets of Your Town series - The Outback Project - bringing the great characters and sounds of Australia’s bush to you.At first blush, one may think that being a palliative care nurse and a comedian may be a strangely odd combination of professions.But for Carolyn Mandersloot, it’s absolutely natural, and in many ways essential, providing a yin and yang balance to her challenging work. She helps many people in the outback with mental health challenges and all from her outback Charleville base.And as Carolyn explains on this episode of Streets of Your Town, her unusual perspective has led to the development of her own podcast - Living and Dying with Cancer, to encourage people to have frank conversations while they’re still alive, about what a good life, and a good death looks like for them.For more shownotes and links go to my Streets of Your Town digital magazine for this episode at soyt.substack.com
