About This Podcast

St. Jude Storied Lives brings you intimate conversations with the patients and families of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It’s hosted by Joel Alsup. He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, when he was 7 years old. He was treated at St. Jude in the 1980s. Joel now works at ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude, on the team that shares stories about patients and their families.

Joel knows how new friendships and second families form at St. Jude – lifelong relationships that become a source of compassion and strength. He also knows that a person’s cancer story is only a part of their entire life story. St. Jude Storied Lives gives you the chance to get to know someone who’s faced difficult moments and learned how to move forward. It’s about what happens after treatment ends and regular life begins again.
