Today\u2019s episode is with Jennifer Fink, host of The Fading Memories Podcast. As a newcomer to the podcasting and audio realm, Jennifer and her show, which deals with Alzheimer\u2019s, have quickly shown that they are a force to be reckoned with! Like many of our previous guests, Jen\u2019s desire to create the show grew out of her own need. Having a mother who lives with Alzheimer\u2019s led our guest to seek some more information and reassurance from podcasts and when she struggled to find what she needed she decided to scratch her own itch. During our conversation we talk through the experiences leading up to the creation of Fading Memories, feedback Jennifer has received and the act of aiding others as a means to deal with our own difficulties. Jen is very generous with her own story, bringing us into her world and the struggles of having a loved one with almost no short term memory. We also get into the some of the lessons she has learned, her belief in podcasting and the important ideas of community and collaboration. For a great chat, listen in!
