Outlander’s Joanne Thomson on Confronting Workplace Abuse

So it's really interesting, like you're literally your your article, that you'd posted me and my partner were talking about it, and I was like: what would you do if you rocked up to a set or theater or whatever? Yeah, that's when it's really worrying, when it's like there are people in the industry that that are still working Today, specifically in Scotland, because it's such a small, such a small place that you know you mentioned two words and they know exactly what you're talking about.
Imagine being in a workplace where speaking up could cost you your career. That’s the reality Outlander star Joanne Thomson faced, and she’s opening up about it on this episode of 'Take Back The Beat: Voice Notes'.
