I’ve learned so much from your podcast. Thank you for it and for all the work you do. I miss UW Madison! Thanks for passing some of it on to me.

If you appreciate deep-dive conversations in the vein of Peter Attia’s “The Drive” podcast, this one is _not_ for you. Even on topics with a seemingly limitless amount of interesting scientific information to explore, e.g. “APOE4”, the content seems to be aimed at an audience who would be disturbed or confused by an objective examination of statistics, relative risk, genetics, etc., and also uninterested in science itself as an intellectual pursuit. Also, many episodes are heavy on ideological spin about equity, inclusion, etc. that seems out of place, repetitive and boring.

Dr Williams broke down so many definitions and concepts in dementia care! Great job. Unfortunately, there are not enough available neuropsychologists to evaluate everyone with memory concerns. Screening tests, with a careful history, has a role in the diagnosis of dementia, as I saw in the non-academic memory center I worked in.

I am college-educated yet find the content too clinical for real-life application. I think it would be useful for those in professional caregiving roles. Personally, right now, I just want to hear about what’s normal disease progression, what to expect at the different stages, how to handle the daily challenges especially when both parents are aging. Double-blind, placebo-controlled, peer-reviewed studies are great fifteen years from now but some of us need help today.

For those of us with family, and now getting to age where forgetfulness is happening daily this is a trove of useful information.

I work for the Alzheimer’s Association. I find this podcast so informative and relatable. Naturally it’s my interest because of my work, but I would enjoy and listen even if it was not my area of work with the variety of educational topics shared in a relatively short and concise manner!

This podcast is very helpful to me as a caregiver to my wife as she goes through MCI to now more advanced issues. This podcast helps me to learn and understand cognitive impairment and what I might possibly do to provide better care. We are blessed with quality Family and Memory Doctors. This podcast gives me more understanding and how I might possibly better relate to our Doctors.

The least likely of all your podcasts that I think is relevant

Thank you for this. I’m only 23 and helping my grandmother caring for my grandfather through this journey and you’re right, there’s so little on it. I’m a part of the google generation. I’m used to looking something up and finding hundreds of articles, forums, podcasts, YouTube videos, and support communities and there’s surprisingly little on this. Maybe because the google gen isn’t quite dealing with this yet, all the support groups I find are just a few middle age people talking and giving each other tips and support. And also the research itself is really just now taking off and being understood. Either way. I’m very happy for this resource.

As a geriatric neuropsychologist, I’m always looking for ways to broaden my knowledge base and stay up to date about new findings in the field. The topics have been really interesting and the guests have been top notch. The podcast is relevant for clinicians, researchers, and the general public, which is a hard balance to strike. Keep the great content coming!
