2 Parkies in a Pod: a Parkinson's Podcast

Political Football


Listen Later

We’re hitting a milestone-Episode 60- and marking it in style. 

In this special instalment of 2 Parkies in a Pod, Dave and Kuhan swap the studio for the pitch as they attend a truly unique football match. On one side: the England Men’s Parkinson’s Walking Football team. On the other: a team of MPs from the All-Party Parliamentary Group.

But this isn’t just about goals and glory.

This match shines a spotlight on something bigger- the powerful role exercise can play in living well with Parkinson’s. It’s about movement, resilience, and proving that diagnosis doesn’t mean standing still.

And where better to make that statement than right at the heart of power?

Adding to the occasion, the team also received a letter from Prime Minister Keir Starmer, praising the day and recognising the importance of raising awareness and championing the Parkinson’s community.

With boots on the ground and voices raised, this episode captures a moment where the Parkinson’s community takes its message straight to the highest table in the land-loud, proud, and impossible to ignore.

Plus we take a trip down memory lane, talk about gut health and Dave's unexpected visitor for breakfast !
