This week on Parky Profiles, we're speaking to Andy Cassy, friend of the podcast, fellow Parky ping-pong player, and the only Brit to take part in what has been described as 'a landmark first-in-human clinical trial' in the search for a Parkinson's cure. Andy underwent stem cell surgery in 2024 as part of said trial, organised by one of our other Parky Profile guests, Professor Roger Barker. We spoke to Andy then, and got back in touch recently to see how his view on his experience may have changed. While the dopamine-replacement surgery is not the 'holy grail', he says, it seems to have reduced our guest's symptoms somewhat. Andy shares with us why his surgery was so good - and perhaps what ground is yet to be covered.

This week on Parky Profiles, we're speaking to Christopher Lambton, a former voice of the BBC. One of our most dedicated fans, Christopher has listened to every Movers & Shakers episode, and, having found our conversations of good use (his words), wanted to get involved himself. After bumping into Gillian somewhere in and amongst the Edinburgh Fringe throng, he proposed himself a Northern Correspondent, to share with us a miraculous story about the Scottish-based Professor, Stephen Wallace, who has succeeded in making Levodopa out of recycled plastic.

This month we're interviewing a handful of fascinating people as part of our summer ‘Parky Profiles' series.The Parky author, adventurer and cyclist, Lloyd Taylor joins us this week to talk about the journey to writing his best-selling book 'The Kindness of Strangers'. When Lloyd was diagnosed with Parkinson's, he had trouble sharing his news with others. But then, he was invited to join a cycle ride to raise awareness for the disease, having never really been a cyclist before, which resulted in him joining a 60-day relay across Canada and talking about being a Parky every day. He writes about this adventure and what he learnt from it in his book, and gives us a taste of it all in our conversation.

Written from a prison cell, the book of Philippians is one of the most remarkable letters ever penned — overflowing with hope, joy, and encouragement, and reminding us that our circumstances don't have to determine our faith. This series takes us on a walk through Paul's words to discover what it truly means to live for Christ, to know Jesus above everything else, and to experience lasting joy regardless of what life throws at us. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have read Philippians a hundred times, there is something fresh and life-giving waiting for you in this series. To continue the series Pastor Emily Foster shared a great message titled 'Think like Christ' — catch up here.

Roger is professor of clinical neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and a consultant neurologist at the Addenbrooke's Hospital. Not only is our guest well known for his groundbreaking research into the use of foetal and stem cell transplants to treat Parkinson's, he is also one of the drivers and creators of the lauded World Parkinson's Congress, which we went along to in Phoenix, Arizona, earlier this year. We wanted to know how Roger came to study medicine, tackle neuroscience and become one of the UK's leading academics in the search for a Parkinson's cure. We also made sure to get his thoughts on the WPC, particularly after one controversial debate..Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer and Sir Nicholas MostynProduced and edited by Ewan Cameron for PodotAssociate Producer: Lulu GoadMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

Since its founding in 2000, it has raised over $3 billion in the hunt for a Parkinson's cure. It's the largest non-profit funder of research in to the disease.We've all heard of its founder and namesake, but who is the head honcho making the everyday decisions?

Es ist mal wieder Zeit für einen "Battle der Besten". Dieses Mal widmen wir uns der Kategorie "Fahrzeuge der Popkultur" und mussten ein paar Grundregeln für die Qualifikation festlegen, weshalb unser Cover auch nicht genau das Lineup widerspiegelt. Die Regeln: Keine Raumschiffe. Keine Boote. Keine Flugzeuge oder Hubschrauber, sorry Airwolf. Keine Züge. Mehreren Iterationen/Interpretationen des gleichen Fahrzeugs gelten als eins, für die Abstimmung zieht man stets die persönlich beste Version des Fahrzeugs heran. Jetzt heißt es: startet Eure Motoren, macht Euch ein kühles Getränk und entspannt Euch, denn Eure Favoriten sind eventuell nicht dabei oder verlieren ein Duell. That's Life. Es sind 40 Millionen Grad. Die Sonne knallt, der Hals ist trocken und ihr habt keine Nintendo Switch 2? Das muss nicht sein, denn unsere Freund:innen von Gamers Only haben die perfekte Lösung für nahezu all eure Probleme parat. Gamers Only ist ein Familienbetrieb aus Köln und stellt Eistee-, Energy- und Vitamin-Drink-Pulver zum selbst anrühren her. Das Ganze funktioniert extrem einfach: Ihr geht auf radionukular.de/gamersonly, packt die Geschmackssorten eurer Wahl in den Warenkorb und nutzt den Code NUKULAR, um auf eure gesamte Bestellung 15% zu sparen. Jetzt neu radionukular.de/gamersonly eingeben und ihr kommt direkt auf eine Seite mit einem von uns vorausgewählten Paket unserer aktuell liebsten Vitamin-Drinks sowie eines Shakers. Natürlich könnt ihr über den Link aber auch alle anderen Sorten ordern. Aktuell neu: Cola Clash als Energy und Vitamin-Drink sowie Lime-Mint-Flow, also Limette Minze, ebenfalls als Energy und Vitamin-Drink. Vom 29. Juli bis 09. August läuft zudem ein Switch 2-Gewinnspiel, bei dem ihr automatisch teilnehmt sobald ihr für mindestens 70 EUR im Shop einkauft. Probiert das Ganze aus, euer Feedback war bisher sehr gut. Vielleicht steht Gamers Only ja auch im Edeka bei euch ums Eck - da funktioniert unser Code allerdings nicht, egal wie sehr ihr es versucht. Also: radionukular.de/gamersonly ansurfen, Favoriten in den Warenkorb packen und mit dem Code NUKULAR nochmal 15% sparen. Solltet ihr andere Sorten und Produkte wie die aus unserem vorgefertigten Nukular-Paket austesten wollen, dann nutzt den Treasure Vault auf der Seite. Dort könnt ihr bis zu 40% sparen und dennoch unseren Code NUKULAR an der Kasse eingeben für weitere 15% Rabatt.

Conflict is inevitable — in families, friendships, workplaces, and yes, even in church. But how we handle it reveals a lot about who we are and what we actually believe.

This year we're campaigning for the voice, and it would be remiss of us not to put a spotlight on the power of raising one's voice in song for people with Parkinson's! For our final episode of season 8 of Movers & Shakers, we spoke to soprano, vocal coach and creative health specialist, Nicola Wydenbach (who some may remember from our Big Sing event outside Parliament), and Dr Trish Vella-Burrows, a nurse and director of Music4Wellbeing, to learn more about the power of music for Parkies, and to practise our singing at the pub..Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Associate Producer: Lulu GoadMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

When is the right time to start taking Parkinson's drugs? Having put the question to the Movers & Shakers Facebook group, we had a range of responses from those who didn't take Levodopa (the widely prescribed and most effective medication for treating Parkinson's symptoms) at all, to those who swore by starting early. In this episode, we hear from some of those people, and receive myth-busting, expert advice from our guests, Stephanie Bancroft, a senior pharmacist and the chair of the PUK specialist pharmacy network, and Dr Lucia Batzu, a consultant specialising in Parkinson's and Dementia.

From Amish settlements in the rural Midwest … to the last Shaker community in Maine … Kevin Williams has spent three decades documenting the lives of people dedicated to simple living. He's collected those experiences in a new book called “Not So Simple.”
Relationships are at the heart of everything — how we treat people, how we show up for them, and what we bring into the spaces we share with others. This series, 'It's not you, it's me,' turns the mirror on us, exploring how our own habits, patterns, and blind spots shape the connections we build and the ones we break. It's an honest, hopeful look at becoming the kind of person others can do life with. To launch the series Pastor Glyn Barrett shared a great message titled 'Relationships' — catch up here.
We spend most of out time talking about how Parkinson's impacts us Parkies, but we don't often speak about the experience of those family members, particularly the children, who live with it too. One of our guests for this week reached out to us with his reflections on caring for his dad, so we asked a couple of our very own Parkinson's kids to come along to the pub too to tell us what it's like living with a PD parent.Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Associate Producer: Lulu GoadMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

Do You Need Separate Salt Shakers for Meat & Milk? by Rabbi Avi Harari
California's water challenges are getting tougher; they are not just complicated, but more complex. If your water agency is going “with the flow,” you are most likely headed for very turbulent water ahead. Even Darcy V's small community water system is embarking on its first metered water rate study. They know they can't continue doing business the way they always have and expect different outcomes. The reality is that today's water challenges require innovative solutions, courage, and relationships—not just thinking outside the box, but literally blowing the box up. This week's guest, Meena Westford, Director of Imported Water for the San Diego County Water Authority (The Authority) shares the inside scoop on new water transfer agreements with other Metropolitan Member Agencies, a groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding that will allow interstate water transfers, and how customer messaging matters now more than ever. These new-ways-of-doing-business deals didn't happen overnight; timing is everything. The right people are in the right places – smart, seasoned, and thinking differently to solve today's problems without yesterday's baggage; Meena is one of those people. Darcy & Darcy discuss litigation history, the Colorado River, and why these issues matter to all Californians, as well as those who benefit from what California produces. Listen in!

The Movers & Shakers are back in the pub to talk walking football. We're big fans of activities that help slow down the progression of Parkinson's Disease, particularly walking football; it may even rival ping pong (but not according to Gillian!). We didn't have a kick about in situ but we had some experts in to tell us all about it - and Rory went to his local club to give us a taste of the real thing. With us are the facilitators of the Parkinson's Pioneers Women's Walking Football Community, Annie Booth and Gemma Darvill, as well as member of the Whittington Health NHS Trust-Arsenal walking football programme, Jeremy Munday.

We live in a culture that tells us to look after ourselves first. Yet despite all our freedom, connection, and opportunity, loneliness has become one of the defining issues of our time. This series explores the biblical practice of hospitality—the simple but powerful act of opening our homes, sharing our tables, serving others, and building genuine community. Through Scripture, practical insights, and honest conversation, we'll discover how God's answer to isolation is found in lives lived together. Hospitality isn't entertaining. It's making room for people. To start the series Pastor Paul Reid shared this great message titled 'Practice Hospitality'
The BBC Radio 4 investigative programme 'Impulsive' shocked listeners across the world. Aired at the beginning of the year, 'Impulsive' revealed the devastating effects that the readily prescribed Parkinson's drugs, dopamine agonists, were having on their users, including causing hypersexuality and compulsive gambling, among other extremes. We've actually covered this topic before on Movers & Shakers, but the Radio 4 show brought the discussion back to light, so this week we're readdressing the risks associated with these drugs and what is being done to tackle them. The presenter of 'Impulsive', BBC Investigations correspondent Noel Titheradge, joined us, alongside one of the show's interviewees, and the co-founder of the Dopamine Agonist Action Group, Freddie Waite, to explain their journey to uncovering this 'shadow world'.Find out more about the Dopamine Agonist Action Group at www.impulsive.worldMovers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Associate Producer: Lulu Goad & Ewan CameronMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

This week finish up our dive into The Shakers. We discuss art, furniture and a story out of Philadelphia.
You've done everything right. You landed the job, found the relationship, maybe even found the church — and yet something still feels off. In this message, Pastor Glyn unpacks why so many of us are stuck in an exhausting cycle of anticipation, arrival, happiness, and disappointment — and why we keep repeating it. Using a brilliantly simple object illustration with a guitar, he reveals what the Bible actually says about the source of joy: it's not circumstantial, it's not earned, and it's not found in what happens to you. It's relational — and it starts with a retuning.
Live from Phoenix, Arizona, for the World Parkinson's Congress 2026; it doesn't get much better than that if you ask us. We all took turns speaking to Parkinson's experts, whether that be on dancing, singing, or even finding a cure. There's almost no one we didn't try to speak to.. We even got to hear a fantastic comedy set from Paul, of which you will get a taste.

We start our series on The Shakers
There's a sense of anticipation in the air. New initiatives are on the horizon, fresh opportunities are opening up, and we're being reminded that adventure isn't just something we do — it's part of who we are.This series explores the bold, faith-filled spirit that refuses to settle, keeps believing for more, and takes action before the full picture is visible. It's about embracing faith as the substance of things not yet seen, carrying a can-do attitude, and trusting God for exploits in the season ahead. Spirit of Adventure is an invitation to lean forward, believe bigger, and step courageously into the future God is calling us toward. To conclude the series Pastor Paul Reid shared a great message titled 'A community to belong'

Organised by the Sports Parkinson's team, the annual event gathers together Parkies from far and wide to partake in a range of Parkinson's-friendly sports, from golf, to walking rugby, and even ballet (which one of our team members had a crack at!). We all put our trainers on, got moving, and recounted for this episode what we got up to. And a reminder that we've launched our campaign on the voice.

The Shakers. An offshoot sect of The Quakers, born in England in 1747. In worship they were known to break into states of ecstatic trembling. Trembling Quakers. Shaking Quakers. The Shakers. They came to America in 1774 with a utopian vision, egalitarian ideals, a belief in the equality of the sexes, a philosophy of communal, celibate, simple living. Known for their purposeful communities, their pacifism and legendary craftsmanship.At their peak in the mid-nineteenth century there were some 6,000 Shakers worldwide. As of 2024 there were but two Shakers left in America, so it made headlines in 2025 when Sister April Baxter entered the fold. Four-time Academy Award winner Frances McDormand and artist Suzanne Bocanegra were inspired by the communal Shaker philosophy and aesthetic and were invited by The Shaker Museum in Chatham, New York to create a pop-up exhibit curated from the museum's archive of Shaker furniture, textiles and goods. They called their installation “Cradled.” Maira Kalman's pop-up exhibition, Shaker Outpost: Design, Commerce and Culture, a curated selection of her favorite pieces from the vast Shaker Museum collection opens on Saturday, May 2 at 4 Depot Square in downtown Chatham, New York, running through Sunday, July 5. Along with the exhibit Maira and the Museum will open a General Store drawing on the historic tradition of Shakers' public-facing stores where Shaker communities shared their goods for purchase with “the world.” Handmade crafts, food in the Shaker style, potholders, honey, ginger snaps, Swedish fish, sardines, marmalade made by TART, notebooks, textiles and items made by local artisans will all be on sale.Come Life, Shaker Life was produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva) in collaboration with Brandi Howell, Nathan Dalton and Hannah Kaye. Mixed by Jim McKee.
The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, best known as the Shakers, emerged in the UK in the 18th Century. So how is it that the three remaining Shakers are based in the US? How did this religion cross the Atlantic? And where did they get their nickname from?Don is joined for this episode by Professor Doug Winiarski, professor of Religious Studies at the University of Richmond, and editor of upcoming 'Shakers at the Centre: Manifesting Spirits and Spectacles in 19th Century America'.Edited by Aidan Lonergan.

There is a new biopic about the founder of the Shakers entitled, The Testament of Ann Lee. If you've heard of the Shakers it is probably because of their furniture. This week the Pugs respond to a critical review of the new film in The Spectator World by Damian Thompson, entitled, Testament to Ignorance. Chris is quoted in the review because of an article he wrote on the Shakers. He has mixed feelings about them, as he explains in the show. But he suspects there is something going on with liberalism in the US and an attempt by liberals to recover their own version of American Christianity and that the biopic is part of a larger effort. Tune in to see if you agree.
