Karen Girmshaw, Consultant Nurse for Older People talks to us about the Dementia Awareness Training Programme at Derriford Hospital, the positive impact that this has had on patients and carers and how we can also help when planning a visit. As Karen says: "People come to hospital with their dementia, often not because of their dementia." Produced for KDFC by IAmTheHow

The church provides a vital link to our more remote and rural communities and through hosting a short dementia awareness session the church can reach out further, acting as a catalyst that brings a deeper understanding to people from all walks of life. Produced for KDFC by @IAmTheHow

We're all likely to know someone who has dementia, so it's important that we have access to information that helps us understand more about the condition and children are as much part of the picture as everyone else. In this podcast Juliette talks to us about caring for her mother, the involvement of her children and how this has shaped her work today in the delivery of dementia based sessions for young people in schools. Produced for KDFC by @IAmTheHow

What does it mean to be Dementia Friendly and how is this achieved? John explains how training is easy to access and how small changes in what you do can make a big difference for those living with dementia. We are all in this together: shops, hospitals, schools and businesses alike... we can all make changes that work for us and that result in a more understanding and inclusive society - not to mention the positive impact on the bottom line. Produced for KDFC by @IAmTheHow

People with dementia and those who provide care often have many questions; we could all do with some help from time to time. Anne looks after her parents while also caring for others as part of her work in the community and in this podcast we learn about the importance of staying connected and how we can achieve this through local help and support, no matter who we are or how we may be affected. Produced for KDFC by @IAmTheHow

Richard Loxton, Lost Person Search Manager at Devon & Cornwall Police explains that it's not uncommon for people who have dementia to go missing, but there are some steps that we can all take to reduce the likelihood of this. We also hear how the Herbert Protocol can be used as an effective tool to aid search, should a vulnerable person need help. Produced for KDFC by @IAmTheHow

Californians voted for their favorite classical compositions. Number 250 is The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Dukas, a Frenchman, in 1897. Number one is, well, you know what it is. KDFC has put them all together in one continuous stream. It takes days to get through them all. All the familiar classics and lots of wonderful works that were new to me.

Today we are saying "YES!" to life with our special guest Joan Stutes. Aeriol Ascher your host spends some time with one of her favorite women in leadership. Always full of fun and a wide variety of perspective you will enjoy this lively conversation. What is your title or business name?: Joan Stutes Certified Financial Educator Tell us a little bit about the work you do: I help people grow their money, guard their money, and expand their vision to include adventure How or why did you begin doing the work that you do?: My husband and I lost a lot of money in real estate and the stock market in 2008.  I became very fearful about our future. I came into Transamerica/World Financial Group as a client. Over time I realized the benefits of the financial education program they offer and became eager to share this knowledge What kind of things do you assist your clients with?: I coach my clients through the six steps to financial independence including a look at their cash flow, debt situation, establishing a reserve account, proper protection (insurance needs), wealth building, and legacy (need for wills and trusts). What SUPER TIP or piece of advice would you like to share with the world?: Success in my real estate career came from the energy of fear and desperation. After all, I was a single mom with two grade school daughters, and I was desperate. When I tried to move into super success in my current business, I always backed away. Finally I realized I had linked fear & desperation to success. I was unwilling to go there again. As a financially independent senior citizen with no dependents, I was not desperate.  After some thought provoking meditation, I was able to link success with generosity and love of life. With my new success I will be able to generously support organizations I trust, ones that will carry my values forward. I currently support my church, Girl Scouts, KDFC (classical music), and The Grateful Garment Project with small monthly donations. I will be able to enlarge and expand my support. Plus I'd like to give each of my grandchildren enough for a down payment on a home. What is the best way for our Podcast Listeners to reach you?: joan.stutes@wealthwave.com Guest Bio: Saying "Yes" to life has been Joan's motto throughout her 85 years. She entered college as a newly wed 18 year old, and was advised that she was taking the place of a man who would need the job. She stayed and graduated four years later. Teaching 7th grade math and typing for several years convinced Joan that classroom teaching was not her thing. She became a top producing Realtor in the highly competitive Silicon Valley real estate market place retiring from that business after 30 years. Retirement, she discovered, also was not her thing. At age 75 she joined World Financial Group to establish her financial coaching business. Because she has been married, single mom, remarried, and now widowed, she brings a special joyous longer look at life as it really happens, especially if you chose to say "Yes" to life.   We hope that you have enjoyed this conversation.

Description: Gwendolyn Sanford is most famous as a composer for TV shows Weeds and Orange Is the New Black, but she got her start as a quirky children’s singer. In fact, it was because of her children’s band that she and her writing partner Brandon Jay scored the audition for Weeds in the first place. On this episode, we talk about how to craft suitable music for show characters, play some of Gwendolyn’s favorite TV cues, and learn more about her hilarious, unbelievably “L.A.” tale of spontaneity, opportunity, and good old fashioned grit. Note to Our Listeners: The Underscore team is currently undergoing transition, as we shift our focus to other exciting projects within the musical-digital realm. Thus, the Underscore podcast is now on indefinite hiatus, at least in its current incarnation. We are so grateful to the astounding guests and loyal listeners who’ve made our ears dance and brains light up episode after episode. If you’ve enjoyed the podcast, please continue to listen, revisit, and share it with friends, as the unique stories and artists featured on the show deserve to be celebrated!

Description: Dorian Wood is a magical typhoon disguised as a humble singer-songwriter. LA Weekly calls them "a fearless artist and performer whose voice inhabits a room like a choir of ghosts," while Mondosonoro compares their concerts to "a meteor shower and the four elements." If we had to boil down the essence of Dorian Wood’s music, we’d call it a mixture of theatrical-experimental, folk, gospel-soul, and classical music, with a large dash of performance art. Speaking with Dorian was a rare treat. On this episode, we listen to musical excerpts and talk about sensuality, queerness, classical roots, bittersweet family, Dorian’s "curvy delicious body," and so much more. Note: Dorian is non-binary, and their pronouns are them/they. At the time of this recording, Dorian still used he/him pronouns and thus the interview reflects those old pronouns. We are proud to publish this podcast episode with Dorian’s full, enthusiastic blessing. Playlist: Here is a Spotify playlist with hand-picked selections from Chrysanthe, Thomas, and Dorian Wood.
