Radio Broadcasts about Alzheimer’s Disease.

Got some time to sit and listen. Then check out these two interesting radio broadcasts.

“Remembering Alzheimer’s: A Special Report” was broadcast on The Infinite Mind during Novemebr. Featuring American Public Media’s Brian Newhouse, it looks at effects of Alzheimer’s Disease on his father. The broadcast also includes conversations with Dr. Peter Reed, Senior Director of Programs for the National Alzheimer’s Association and leading researcher Dr. Marilyn Albert, Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Plus 47 year old James Smith, a former executive with American Express, who offers a first person account of living with Alzheimer’s Disease.

The Vermont Public Radio offers a broadcast from commentator Madeleine Kunin who “recently went to the store to buy groceries, but came home with a deeper understanding of what it’s like to cope with Alzheimers.” (ref)
