This week on Parky Profiles, we're speaking to Andy Cassy, friend of the podcast, fellow Parky ping-pong player, and the only Brit to take part in what has been described as 'a landmark first-in-human clinical trial' in the search for a Parkinson's cure. Andy underwent stem cell surgery in 2024 as …
Parky Books
The Movers & Shakers are back for another season of informative, inspiring and possibly even entertaining conversations. To kick off season 9, we're speaking to three Parky authors, who have written about... Parkinson's! Miller Caldwell, David Blacker and Jodie Forbes joined us to talk about their …
Perception
Do we stoop? Does our facial expression change? Do we sound different? And if we do do any of those things, have we, ourselves, even realised? We spoke to four(!) experts to find out more about perception, including physiotherapist and academic, Dr Julie Jones; Mark's speech and language therapist,…
Voice Messages
Voice Messages - that's the name of our upcoming webinar series. Why did we give it that name? Well, this year we're campaigning for the Parky Voice, the lesser known symptom of Parkinson's disease that up to 90% of us living with PD suffer from! We've got several strands to our campaign, including…
Osteoporosis
Do you have brittle bones? This week we're talking about osteoporosis, the health condition that weakens bones and makes sufferers more prone to breaks.

We also hear from fellow Parky,…

We're talking about Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) again, but this time we're asking what comes next?

And, well, would they recommend …
Paul's Parkinson's Film: Onwards and Sideways
We can't quite believe we went to a premiere last Sunday, not least because it was to watch and celebrate Paul's brilliant new film, Onwards and Sideways. We had the chance to speak to the film's creators, the actors, and some key Parkinson's players about this exciting release, which is now showin…
Placebo?
Fake treatments. Tricking your body. What do we know about placebo drugs and do they really work?
