    This week the Movers & Shakers are celebrating our four-legged friends, both canine and feline. But how do pets help or hinder the experience of having Parkinson's? With expert testimony from Bilbo Mostyn, Derek Paxman, Sophie Cellan-Jones and Lana Del Grey Mardell – not to mention several listeners calling in – and some special guests, this episode explores the special bond between animals and humans.


    Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.

    Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.

    Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron.

  • Sports! (Live from The Belfry)
    Nov 16 2024

    In this special live edition of Movers and Shakers half of the gang – The Judge, Rory and Paul – head to the famous Belfry golf club, where Sport Parkinson's were hosting their annual Four Nations golf tournament. In this wide-ranging conversation about the merits of sports (and a few pitfalls), special guests join to discuss the various initiatives for motivating Parkies into athletic endeavour. From golf and football to horse riding and – you guessed it – ping pong, this will be the inspiration you need to get off the couch and dust off those trainers!


    Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.

  • Women and Parkinson's
    Nov 9 2024

    Women make up about 40% of all Parkinson's cases – but the Movers and Shakers panel doesn't often reflect that! Do we pay enough attention to women's experience with the disease? And does medical science have the same blindspot? On this week's episode of the show, we're talking about the female experience with PD, how the disease differently impacts the genders, and what we need to do to even the playing field for biomedical research.


    Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.

Fantastic.

Great panel and podcast idea. Humour, occasional belligerence, honesty and insight. Neurologists will likely prescribe it next in the letter when they inevitably cancel our next appointment. Pah.

Brilliant to hear all the different experiences - we'd never heard of the brain implant. Particularly liked Mark's openness when interviewed on R4 trailer interview about how he felt his voice now made him sound "querulous and a bit pathetic". Dad used to be a choral and opera singer/conductor and his speaking voice is now tremulous at times but he can still sing at his almost former best. Cruel disease when you're aware of it reducing you.

My Dad has Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) - very similar to Parkinson's but with a tendency to fall backwards rather than forwards. (As a result, I walk behind him with due deference rather than walking backwards in front of him ;-) Small mercies.

Thanks again - it cheered us both up. Dad's now re-listening as he forgot most of it (!) but when I asked for his assessment he smiled and said "brilliant". What more could a podcast hope to achieve?

SUCH a good podcast

I have listened to every episode of this most fantastic podcast and have told many friends, both, who have and also those who do not have PD. The weekly programmes are, I think, an absolute MUST for everyone, particularly the ‘older’ generation so that we can all have an insight into this horrid ‘condition’. Thank you all of you for your wonderfully open discussion, your thoughts, your advice, your own stories and also for getting together every week to put this podcast together. I do not have PD and am now so much more aware the many different aspects of it. Thank you. Hilly Ward

Very welcome, interesting and informative Podcast

In a nutshell this is excellent podcast from a bunch of reprobates talking about Parkinsons disease and the subtext is to de-grimify the condition. Thoroughly recommended for Parkinsons patients and their families.
