  • Truly inspirational

    Loved the episode with Scott Parazynski. Very friendly, upbeat and personable chat covering Scott’s amazing feats. Loved both of your approaches to “failure”, i.e. “non summits” and “learning experiences”. Truly inspirational. As previous reviews have said, Alan’s audio quality could be improved

  • Alan is the best!

    The definitive pod on Everest and big mountain high altitude climbing yet so down to earth - like sitting around having a beer with a friend who happens to tell the best stories that are actually true. Love the fictional version of a climb - absolutely epic!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Podcast: Memories Are Everything: Why Alzheimer’s Research Needs Us Now
Q: Is it true that memory loss is about not creating new memories?
Memory is complex; while short-term memory is affected early, the conversation explains how memories form, consolidate, and what parts of the brain (like the hippocampus) are involved, and how pathology disrupts these processes.
Podcast: Memories Are Everything: Why Alzheimer’s Research Needs Us Now
Q: Give us the layman's definition of Alzheimer's versus dementia.
Dementia is an umbrella term, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common form; not all dementia is Alzheimer's, and different diseases can cause dementia and memory impairment.
Podcast: Memories Are Everything: Why Alzheimer’s Research Needs Us Now
