The Young Tongues Podcast is a space for honest, unfiltered conversations about life with and after tongue cancer.


Hosted by founder Barbara Fountain and fellow survivors, Jamie and Stef, the podcast brings together real patient voices, expert insights, and the conversations that don’t usually happen in clinical settings — from diagnosis and treatment to long-term effects, identity, and everything in between.


Young Tongues is a global support charity for people aged 18–64 diagnosed with tongue cancer. Built from lived experience, it exists to make sure no one faces this diagnosis alone — providing community, practical support, and a platform to amplify the patient voice.


Through this podcast, we share stories, challenge assumptions, and work towards a future where young people are diagnosed earlier, better supported, and truly understood.

Whether you’re a patient, survivor, carer, clinician or researcher — you’re part of this conversation.

  • Immunotherapy, Uncertainty & Hope: A Conversation with Professor Kevin Harrington

    Immunotherapy, Uncertainty & Hope: A Conversation with Professor Kevin Harrington
    Apr 9 2026

    In this episode, we’re joined by Professor Kevin Harrington, one of the world’s leading experts in head and neck cancer, to break down what’s really changing in tongue cancer treatment, and what it means for patients today. We talk about the rise in younger patients without clear risk factors, why we still don’t fully understand why this is happening, and what that uncertainty means for the future. We also dive into immunotherapy: what it actually is, how it works, and why it’s starting to change outcomes in ways that simply weren’t possible before.

    New Season, New Co-Host, Same Chaos
    Apr 2 2026

    Season 3 is officially here and we’re coming back bigger, louder, and with a brand new co-host.


    In this episode, we welcome Stef as our third co-host, reflect on how Young Tongues began, and share what’s coming this season — from honest conversations and expert guests to your stories. We also cover the growth of our global community, why fundraising matters, and exciting updates across research, policy and future plans, including building a Patient Hub to make information clearer and more accessible. We also explore what it means to live beyond diagnosis — the reality, the humour, and everything in between.
