    Apr 7 2025

    Sleep problems can be a major issue when you have Parkinson’s. This week we talk to Jane Alty a professor of neurology at The University of Tasmania, Australia. She’s an expert in Parkinson’s sleep disorders. Her goal is to transform the brain health of adults globally - through research to detect the critical earliest stages of degenerative brain disorders.

    She also reveals whether she thinks AI will solve the Parkinson’s conundrum.

    Also this week.. The boys are full of the joys of spring, Kuhan nearly gets run over, Dave does a rap

    And Hamming it up…. How a piece of Donald Trump ended up in a sandwich!

I don't have Parkinson's but my husband does. I probably listen more than he does, I think he doesn't want to "think about PD all the time", but I feel that information is key on this journey. I learned about you on Movers and Shakers, which I thought was brilliant till I discovered your podcast: they have now been downgraded (sorry guys). I find your approach more universal and enjoyable. You tackle difficult subjects with empathy and grace. Thank you, please keep going, you are shining a light into some dark corners. It is important and it helps. One of the most important things that you do is the highlighting of things that amazing Parky warriors are achieving every day. For anyone out there who has just discovered that they have Parkinson's, and feel that their lives are now ruined and blighted, you are bringing heroes into view and demonstrating that life can actually go on and be fun, that there is more to life than Levodopa and loss.
