  • A warm and life-affirming listen

    I have friends coping with PD, and that was the trigger for me to start listening. What kept me on board was the humour of the presenters and, dare I say, the love they have for each other.

  • Great podcast

    My husband has recently been diagnosed and complains of the same issues as the presenters- 10 minutes with a specialist after waiting 6 months for the appointment, and then out the door with the rest of your life to manage. This podcast fills in many of those massive gaps. Thanks so much!
