Listen to season two of “Twenty-Four Seven: A Podcast About Caregiving”

 

The Texas Public Radio podcast, “Twenty-Four Seven: A Podcast About Caregiving,” presents a thoughtful and helpful tool offering guidance to families and friends with loved ones experiencing dementia.

Catch up with the eight episodes of Season Two as longtime NPR journalist Kitty Eisele expands her personal story about caring for her dad to the experiences of many families. 

Guests include author Patti Davis, who discusses taking care of her father, the late president Ronald Reagan; Jacquelyn Joyce Revere, a YouTube and TikTok personality who teaches other young caregivers how to handle challenging and intimate tasks for older loved ones; and Rev. Cynthia Huling Hummel, who was 49 years old when she noticed the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease, and shares her insights into the care she hopes to receive and her advice for others. Listeners are also invited to share their caregiving experiences on the podcast to discuss difficult behavior, grief and meaning. The podcast explores how we help our loved ones live — and die — and what they mean to us.

All eight episodes of Season Two, as well as the complete first season, are available at Twenty-Four Seven Home Page | TPR. The podcast can also be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.
