Mempathy
Mempathy is a podcast about dementia-related memory loss, hosted by Professor Catherine Loveday, a memory expert who has spent the last 12 years putting her research into practice to support her own mum. In the series, she speaks with Sonia Beldom about everyday issues that arise for families and carers, such as how to have tricky conversations, how to improve sleep and how to scaffold memory. It is light-hearted and fun but tackles important topics and offers concrete advice and solutions. Produced by Geraldine Fitzgerald, engineered by Jeff Knowler, and original music by Philip Loveday.

Memory loss makes people particularly vulnerable to scams, fraud and other dishonest behaviour. In this episode, Sonia and I are joined by a very special guest, Marc Cananur (Hunted, and BBC Morning Live). Marc is a leading expert in scams and fraud. He is also an ambassador for Dementia UK and has parents living with dementia. Together, we consider the extra vulnerability faced by people with memory loss - how they can be exploited by professional fraudsters and even sometimes by people closer to home. As always, we discuss the underlying science and provide many tips for protecting not only our loved ones, but also ourselves.
