Sports journalist and broadcaster Dave Clarke partners with his friend Dave Kuhan to discuss the ins and outs of Parkinson’s, drawing on their twenty collective years of living with the condition. Including a host of guests throughout the series, episode one offers a ‘beginner’s guide’ to living well with Parkinson’s – with the aim of helping listeners understand what to expect.

You, Me and PD

Born from the relationship between technology professional Jeremy Likness, who was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s in 2020, and his caregiver and wife Doreen – You, Me and PD is a conversational podcast which looks at their shared approach to Parkinson’s. Topics include nutrition, exercise, faith and coping with grief.

On Time

Co-hosted by Brian Grant – former NBA player and founder of the Brian Grant foundation – and writer and Parkinson’s advocate Heather Kennedy, this podcast offers a candid look at daily life with the condition including perspectives on parenting, dating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Parkinson’s Life podcast
