- Funny but informative podcast for PWPs
I run a support group for PWP and I always recommend this podcast to members of the group. Less of a formal structure than Movers and Shakers but full of tips and useful info. Dave and Kuhan obviously have fun making these episodes but are not afraid to confront some of the serious issues affecting people living with Parkinson’s. Definitely give it a listen.

Thanks for the excellent podcast. We listen regularly from Virginia, USA. My husband is getting the DBS surgery on Wednesday, 12 November so listening to your shows focusing on DBS have been so comforting and helpful. A huge thank you! And you also always make is laugh! Thanks.

I came across these guys at par-con 2025, I really found them open and honest. They hit the nail on the head in relation to my journey with Parkinsons. Looking forward to further listening of their funny but serious slant on living with this sometimes invisible disability.
