Shownotes
Today, we are very excited to be talking to Angela Rippon.
Angela is a longstanding and highly awarded British Television presenter who has been working in TV for over 50 years - she was the first female presenter on the BBC, the first host of Top Gear in the 1970s and the host of many other series.
She’s also a dementia ambassador. After her mum was diagnosed with vascular dementia in the early 2000s, Angela started speaking about the experience and raising awareness for the condition.
This conversation is a lot of fun, as we talked about her journey in advocacy, the fantastic progress that’s been made and next steps for supporting people living with dementia.
