Award-winning Parkinson’s Life podcast returns for a second series
The Parkinson’s Life podcast is back – and backed by the Boston Scientific Foundation Europe. Tune in to the first episode, created by Speak Media and the EPDA, and find out what else lies in store for series two.
The first series of the Parkinson’s Life podcast was named ‘Best Global Audio Campaign of the Year’ at the 2020 Global Content Awards – and has so far reached more than 12,000 listeners around the world.
Now, as we return for a brand-new series, we are delighted to announce that the podcast has been awarded a grant from the Boston Scientific Foundation Europe – helping us to continue amplifying the voices of people in the global Parkinson’s community.
In episode one, ‘How to sleep well with Parkinson’s’, we kick off with a conversation between Brian Magennis, a Parkinson’s advanced nurse practitioner, and married couple Cormac and Mary Mehigan about sleep issues and tips for people with the condition.
Upcoming episodes of the podcast will bring together others impacted by the condition alongside experts in the field to explore topics like mental health, taking part in clinical trials, the importance of exercise, and ‘taboo’ symptoms.
Sandrine Bazile, president of the Boston Scientific Foundation Europe, says: “We fully support this project because it mirrors perfectly our mission to improve patient wellbeing using innovative solutions.
“We believe in the importance of the podcast series, with its aim to improve the information and education available to people with Parkinson’s and their families – to help them live life to the full.”
