Movers and Shakers: a podcast about life with Parkinson's

The Movers and Shakers are back in the Notting Hill pub, and this week we're talking about quite possibly the biggest question in the world of Parkinson's: will we get a cure? To assist with answering this ultimate enquiry, the gang are joined by Prof Tom Foltynie, a neurologist at the bleeding edge of PD research, and Will Cook, CEO of the aptly named charity Cure Parkinson's. Is there hope for a cure? What form could it take? And what timeframe might we see it in?Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn, and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Additional editing by Ewan Cameron.Music by Alex Stobbs.Artwork by Till Lukat.PR by Sally Jones.Movers and Shakers is generously sponsored by Boardwave, high powered Executive networking programme for European Software CEO, Non-Exec Directors, Chairs and their Investors.

The Movers and Shakers are back and they're talking about one of the lesser discussed, non-motor, symptoms of Parkinson's: depression. If the frustrations of the conditions weren't bad enough, many suffers also experience debilitating issues with their mental health. So how can we combat this and prove that life with Parkinson's is not only liveable, but enjoyable? The gang are joined in the Notting Hill pub by a special guest, expert in psychological conditions, to discuss.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn, and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Additional editing by Ewan Cameron.Music by Alex Stobbs.Artwork by Till Lukat.PR by Sally Jones.Movers and Shakers is generously sponsored by Boardwave, high powered Executive networking programme for European Software CEO, Non-Exec Directors, Chairs and their Investors.

The Movers & Shakers are back in the Notting Hill pub for their most rock'n'roll episode yet. That's right, we're talking about drugs. From dopamine replacements to agonists, via a lot of a rattling, the gang want to find out more about what they're taking, why they're taking it, and whether it's really making a difference. To help with that, we're joined by Professor Ray Chaudhuri, neurologist and professional judge wrangler, and Stephanie Bancroft, pharmacist to the stars.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn, and Jeremy Paxman.With Ray Chaudhuri and Stephanie Bancroft.

What legal protections are available? And what do you do if it all feels a bit too much?

This week on Movers and Shakers we're talking about nature's remedy: exercise. The Notting Hill pub where we gather is a rather sedentary place, but the gang get up to all sorts. From windsurfing and horse riding to tennis, boxing and tai chi, exercise can make all the difference. But how do you motivate yourself? What are the real impacts of exercise on the human brain? And how long can a Judge hold a plank?With Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn, and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Additional editing by Ewan Cameron.Additional production by Adrian Lacey.Music by Alex Stobbs.Artwork by Till Lukat.PR by Sally Jones.Movers and Shakers is generously sponsored by Boardwave, high powered Executive networking programme for European Software CEO, Non-Exec Directors, Chairs and their Investors.

The Movers and Shakers are back in the Notting Hill pub, and this week they're joined by an illustrious guest. Professor Ludvic Zrinzo is a world renowned specialist in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and, in her own words, the "only man to have been been inside [Gillian's] brain". DBS is an exciting but often misunderstood treatment in the world of Parkinson's care, and the gang are going to put Prof Zrinzo under the microscope. Who is right for DBS? Are there symptoms it won't help? And why are waiting lists so bloody long?Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn, and Jeremy Paxman.With Professor Ludvic Zrinzo.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Additional editing by Ewan Cameron.Additional production by Adrian Lacey.
