In this episode, I talk with Phil Koole, a professional clown working in hospitals and elder care homes in Toronto about how he connects with people and helps them to see things slightly differently for a while. I promised to include a definition in the show notes:

somnolence (sŏmˈnə-ləns): a noun meaning a state of drowsiness or sleepiness.

Below are links to some of the organisations Phil mentioned in our discussion:

  • Holland Bloor View Hospital
  • Kathleen Le Roux: Clowning for health and well being
  • Clowns without Borders
