Dave's done some serious research into queer species in the Moomins, and Hattifatteners as cyborgs in particular: https://t.co/7rDAzx2XWS

[Vic Lyons RMN, MSC ( Health Care Leadership) @viclyons]

So proud to finally be able to share our new podcast!!!
Working on this has been so emotional, and so much fun.
I hope this will be something that helps, inspires and supports families as well as giving an excellent insight into life with Dementia.
Let us know what you think .

[Shibley @dr_shibley]

Bear in mind, for years, we, a burnt out, exhausted, depressed, but loving and intensely rewarded, force were being told 'dementia is a gift'.
Now THAT is nasty.

[Shibley @dr_shibley]

Dementia is really crap. As a son, I felt I was losing mum daily. I had the odd 'achievement', but the overall path was a sharp turn for the worse. When you're exhausted, you're prone to feel a bit bitter, a bit hyperbolic. We still loved our loved ones.
But dementia is CRAP

[Ming Ho @Minghowriter]

.@dr_shibley "By airbrushing individuals with more severe dementia from sight or public discourse, we have produced a massively imbalanced analysis of the needs of persons with dementia and carers." Well said, Shibley. #dementia #Alzheimers @alzheimerssoc

Another good place to find out about my dad is from his obituary:

[Dave Pickering @goosefat101]

My dad would have been 100 today if he hadn’t died at 96. I made a podcast series about him before he died in 2020, @SunlessPod which is probably one of the best audio things I’ve ever made. So if you want to remember him or meet him for the first time that’s a good place to go:

[The Podgoblin’s Hat @ThePodgoblin]

And this week's Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is: @SunlessPod, a podcast about @goosefat101’s dad combining memoir, clips from over 10 years of recordings, sound design, and interviews with experts, that takes you on a journey down to a sunless sea.

Our theme for these books is MEMOIR, and we look at unreliable narrators, self mythologising and the fundamental mystery of our parents.

Season 2 of the Podgoblin's Hat begins today and for our first episode, Nina is reading the Exploits of Moominpappa and Dave is reading the Memoirs of Moominpappa. Which are almost the same book.

This week we're reading the second half of Comet in Moominland! Moomintroll meets the fabled Snorkmaiden and falls in love on the spot, our brave adventurers attend not one but two end-of-the-world parties, and the muskrat gets stuck into something gooey.
