  • Audio mic feedback or is there a tv playing during your recording?

    I am new to this podcast. A bit desperate for information after concluding that my Dad is in early stages of Alzheimer’s. You provide wonderful information but the audio is terrible, and extremely hard to hear. It’s either echoing feedback from your microphone or…is there a TV/radio playing in the background? Is there anyway to fix this?

  • Interesting but not up to date with all advances

    In your latest episode, you say that Alzheimer’s can only be diagnosed by an autopsy post-mortem. This is no longer true. PET scans can visualize amyloid plaques and tau tangles and there are biomarkers in the spinal fluid as well.
