PODCASTS
Do you listen to podcasts? Many care partners for those with dementia discover the ‘way out of desperation’ is to seek out a variety of resources for getting help. And HELP IS ON THE WAY!!
FEEDSPOT, offers 80 best caregiver podcasts.
If you feel desperate, see this list and signup to receive email updates.
If you feel like you have lost your foothold, like no one has answers, like no one is listening. See this list of broadcasters who know you need help …all you must do is reach out and look at their list, and click to listen.
ALZAUTHORS has expanded their support to include podcasts!
Maybe you don’t have time to read or watch a video…but perhaps there are times when you can walk and listen, or drive and listen, or even rest and listen…then podcast-help might be just the ticket.
Many caregivers are familiar with AlzAuthors, a unique group who promote, through their website and emails, and on social media, hundreds of books with dementia-related topics from every perspective in support of caregivers. Now, with a wish to broaden their reach, they offer weekly podcasts for caregivers through their Untangling Alzheimer’s and Dementia on the Whole Care Network (formerly New York City Podcast Network) – App available at Apple Store or Google Play!
Podcast hosts, Marianne Sciucco and Christy Byrne Yates, aim to connect with and empower caregivers through offering trusted information and support to caregivers. Click here to the gateway to their podcast
I highlight this group because they are dementia caregiver focused, and have encouraged many caregivers over the last few years. Listen to their podcast, have a look at their website to see their wide spectrum of topics covered!
AlzAuthors suggest “You can help them rise in the ranks and find new audience when you visit the podcast. You can “vote up” any episode with the lavender “Vote” link, so we get more subscribers. and you’ll find 1,008 podcasts with 59,749 episodes on a variety of topics to tune into. Thanks for your support!”
While at their site, sign up to receive their newsletter introducing books from many of the authors you see on their site.
Remember, ask questions, email us, ask your librarian, call your doctor, or a dementia organization…don’t walk your path alone.
Each day do something to make others smile and your heart sing! -Judith Allen Shone, from “Is There Any Ice Cream?”
