My favorite podcast about Parkinson’s: friendly, informative, fun. Makes me want to stop by the pub to listen, learn and laugh in person. Cheers!

This podcast should be compulsory listening to all professionals involved in caring for / treating people with Parkinson's. My husband asked his neurologist at his annual appointment if he follows it and he said no, but acknowledged he’d heard of it. A start I suppose.Read full review »

Listening to you all discuss what information should be given to newly diagnosed Parkies - its perfectly obvious, give everyone a copy of your podcast as a DVD or is it CD. Your podcast is BRILLIANT. It has helped us so much. One can look things up on the internet but without some kind of...Read full review »

This is a almost as good as getting together with new Parkies friends in person. I knew Avocado was affecting the absorption of my medication but hearing it from someone else helps. I think other high fat foods have the same effect. Thanks for making the podcasts. You’re all a pleasure to listen...Read full review »

Listening to episode 11 was amazing. My daughter with Young Onset Parkinson’s was diagnosed in her 30s. Her story is an example of the devastating negative side effects of the agonist drugs. After being widowed suddenly with 2 young sons her symptoms were first thought to be caused by grief....Read full review »

I have listened to every episode ( and re-listened in some instances) and would not miss it. The guest are informative and discussions reveal bits of info that are so helpful e,g the diet episode. The personalities of the panel bring fun, warmth and support to situations those of us with PD live...Read full review »

I’ve listened to lots of podcasts related to Parkinson’s- some scientific, some aiming for relevance on a personal level, some focused on possible breakthrough research. This show does it all, while sharing the very real stories/attitudes of 6 intelligent people dealing with the disease. They are...Read full review »

Thank you for the honest and enlightening conversations. It has been truly a breath of fresh air. I was diagnosed just over 13 years ago at the age of 50 and have been dealing with the effects of the disease alone since my husband of then 27 years, informed me he had found an “escape route” in...Read full review »

I’ve just discovered your pod and have devoured it over the last week. My dad has had PD for over 20 years and at 77 years old, I think he had more or less given up. I’ve shared this pod with him and like me, he loves it. Other than our love of football and family, we now have a new shared topic...Read full review »

This is fascinating listening in a rare frank discussion of a disease which affects this group of friends. But more than that we feel we know them as several members of the group had television careers before developing the disease. I’ve never missed an episode. Riveting.
Normthecat via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/05/23
I’m the wife of a Parkie and when we mentioned vitamins in the last consultation he was very dismissive. He is supposedly a Parkinson’s expert. Eat what you like he told us when my husband was diagnosed. I hope the pod reaches folk all over the party world as it is free and far more valuable than...Read full review »

What a great podcast series. I love the humour, the honesty and the insights that are shared by this fabulous group as they talk about their personal experience of living with Parkinsons.
ChristopherGV via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/04/23
You are such an inspiring bunch of people, it’s so fantastic to see how you support each other while educating the rest of us. Thank you. My mother died in 2016 at 85 and had so many of the Parkinson’s problems you vividly describe. Another family member has recently been diagnosed and has...Read full review »

3 1/2 months ago my husband was told by his GP that he has PD. Cardiff & Vale have waiting list up to 40 weeks to see neurologist. This podcast has been a godsend in helping us to learn about PD. We have listened to every episode and always end up laughing. It gives us knowledge and...Read full review »

Thanks for the podcast. In my area we have a physio who specialises in neurological conditions. For those recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s she gives us a 10 week programme of exercise and education in conjunction with our local Parkinson’s UK group.

I love the podcasts, informative and funny. Lots of useful information for all
DawnHR65 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/30/23
Indispensable listening for those suffering Parkinsons and for those who live with or close to them (as well as for those who are interested to know that Paxman is as curmudgeonly as ever)

I love these podcasts; both funny and informative. The latest one on sleep was especially interesting, listening to it in the early hours of the morning when I couldn’t sleep!!! Thank you Parky gang.
Jeannie Carney via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/24/23

What a delight to listen. Good that you can be light and fun as well as serious.

Congratulations on your fascinating podcast. What a great bunch of characters you all are. Such a comfort to those searching for information on Parkinson’s. Looking forward to catching up with the episodes.

Thank you Folks! I have enjoyed listening to your chats, which are informative and entertaining. Great guests and so many top tips and clear explanations. At times, it’s like being given a virtual, reassuring hug.
Parky Pal via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/26/23
This podcast has been a revelation to me. When I got my diagnosis in 2017 that was all I got, apart from medication. I have to say the medication Co-careldoper was amazing from day one and gave me a new lease of life, although it is waining a bit now. I didn’t receive any advice at all, so I was...Read full review »

Your podcast has gone into my therapy toolbox . Sometimes my clients are already in the know and we have a good old natter about how fabulous the podcast is. I find it educational because even though it’s my job to know about Parkinson’s, I need a bit of a refresher at times. I find the podcast...Read full review »

Really informative and a bit of a giggle at times. Have learned a lot.

The irony is that a group of people that have the misfortune to receive news of having an incurable condition being is the most joyous, Informative, life-affirming, uplifting podcast in ages.

What a bloomin’ marvellous podcast, so utterly relevant, honest and uplifting. I’m 48 years’ old and was diagnosed 5 years ago.

Thank you all so much for this incredibly informative Podcast!! We listen religiously each week. My husband was diagnosed in 2015 @ the age of 56. We are pretty well managed here in the colonies.

As an ex nurse of 35 years working with quite a lot of Parkinson’s patients, I was alarmed that a lot of nurses know nothing at all about Parkinson’s. Healthcare assistants, they haven’t got a clue. Educating them, then watching them respond to patients who flourish was fantastic. I wish this...Read full review »

Very helpful, informative and lighthearted as we need facts not sympathy. Well done 😎

Thank you for a fascinating podcast - I am ashamed to say that I have only just discovered it - through a patient in fact. The proverbial cat is now out and everyone I know will be told. Many patients I see do not want to go to ‘PD groups’; they say they don’t want to see the future as there are...Read full review »

I eagerly await each new podcast , very informative, uplifting and humorous.

So spread the word. “ long live the Movers and...Read full review »

Thanks for this insightful and irreverent take on PD. I love listening to the ups and downs that the group experiences as it really helps me put my PD in perspective. Each week I join you in spirit in the pub. Cheers

I have had Cerebral Palsy since birth and just lost my Job after over 30 years and can relate with contributors who feel let down by their employer after many years service
Steve Whiting via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/07/23
Strongly recommended but I will only give it the five stars it probably deserves when the men stop talking over the only woman! I think they’re getting better but they still have a way to go.

I look forward to Saturday mornings when I hop on the exercise bike, put my headphones on and listen to the mellifluous chatter of Rory and friends on the week's episode of Movers and Shakers.
