The Forgetting: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's
The Forgetting is a podcast that talks about and demystifies Alzheimer’s disease. The twice-monthly show is co-hosted by two well-respected Alzheimer’s experts: David Shenk and Greg O’Brien.
O’Brien was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2009, at age 59. The podcast highlights the friendship Shenk and O’Brien share, while also documenting O’Brien’s experience with the disease as its symptoms become more pronounced. The earliest conversations date from 2015. Subsequent episodes of the podcast follow O’Brien’s journey with the disease to the present day.
The conversations are geared toward people with the disease, as well as caregivers, friends and loved ones. In addition to discussing O’Brien’s day-to-day life with Alzheimer’s and the tactics he uses to cope, the podcast also features guest interviews.
David Shenk is author of The Forgetting: Alzheimer’s, Portrait of an Epidemic.
