The Demenz Podcast has been released monthly since April 2019, free of charge, with information for anyone interested in the topic of dementia. A podcast is an audio program (similar to a radio program) that is not tied to fixed broadcast times but can be accessed and listened to at any time via the Internet.
Jede Sendung des Demenz-Podcasts behandelt ein spezielles Thema und dauert etwa 30 Minuten. Autorin und Moderatorin des Demenz-Podcasts ist Christine Schön, seit 20 Jahren Hörfunkautorin mit den Schwerpunkt-Themen Alter und Demenz und Redakteurin der Sendungsreihe “Hörzeit – Radio wie früher” für Menschen mit Demenz. Der Demenz-Podcast bietet ganz konkrete Unterstützung bei vielen Fragen von An- und Zugehörigen. Christine Schön interviewt professionell Pflegende, Vertreter*innen der Alzheimer Gesellschaft, Ärzt*innen, Menschen mit Demenz und ihre Angehörigen, Psycholog*innen und weitere Expert*innen.
The Dementia Podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podscout, gPodder, and, of course, the website demenz-podcast.de. Please note: The podcast is currently only available in German.
From May 2021 onward, it will be published jointly by the German Alzheimer's Association and medhochzwei Verlag.
