Between Two Curtains

"Between Two Curtains" is a podcast by RED NOSES International that explores the vital intersection of arts, humour and mental health. We move beyond the ‘red nose’ to host deep, meaningful dialogues with artists, researchers and global experts and examine why humour and the arts are essential tools for emotional wellbeing, especially in difficult times. Whether you are a professional in the healthcare sector, a supporter of social impact or simply someone looking for hope-driven narratives, join us as we pull back the curtain on the serious side of laughter. Based in Vienna, Austria, RED NOSES International has spent more than three decades bringing moments of joy and human connection to those facing challenging circumstances. What began as a local initiative has grown into the world’s largest healthcare clowning organisation, with 11 local RED NOSES organisations delivering expert artistic interventions. Together, we provide critical psychosocial support in hospitals, care homes, rehabilitation centres and displacement settings.
