Lots of people prefer podcasts. When you’re preparing breakfast in the morning, or going for a walk around the block before sundown.
For people who prefer listening, I admit the Podcast or Audio Book is a truly enjoyable way to engage with what you like.
I’m exploring Podcasts for Caregivers today. Hoping the next moment I get, I’ll press play and hear what these audio producers have to say.
Topics ranging from Parkinson’s to Dementia to Elder Care and more - a strong library of support resources, indeed.
(My dad is 70+ with Parkinson's, and my mom is 70-ish. The four of us all live together in an open house. One big Happy Family most of the time.)
Here are a handful of my top picks for “Caregiver Podcasts Listen List”.
I’m especially interested in this because it’s put on by Rosanne, a person who’s in the sandwich generation.
Most of the episodes are like 50 to 60 minutes long. I’m honestly not sure if I’m committed enough to something so long.
I like the looks of this one for a short podcast. Each episode is just 4 to 8 minutes long.
Which as a reluctant caregiver who’s seeking a new perspective in a caregiving podcast, I’m happy to start small with shorter episodes.
I’m particularly interested in listening to her “Things They Should Have Told You About Caregiving” series. There are seriously like 5+ episodes just on this topic.
As a caregiver, it feels good to point out a part of your life that “the system” is just not supporting. Since family caregiving changes just about everything, I’d like to learn what an expert like Charlotte has to say.
Cathy Van is clearly passionate about sharing her valuable experience as a family caregiver. Simply reading through the episode headlines looks like that’s an area of my like I could improve.
Running between 20 to 50 minutes per episode, I’ll start with the shorter ones. Maybe I’ll hit on a heavy topic I’ve been avoiding for a while.
The previous two podcasts are productions from a family caregiver perspective.
But the Dementia Care Partner Talk Show is broadcast by certified professionals with advanced degrees in areas related to Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
For the sake of perspective, it’d be nice to here this professional second opinion.
At 10 minutes long per episode, it’s palatable like a quick visit to the doctor’s office.
