About This Podcast

In Sickness. Men and the Culture of Caregiving is a monthly podcast that will focus mostly on stories of male caregivers who have supported individuals with various diseases and medical conditions across all therapeutic areas including select cancers, ALS, Alzheimer’s, and numerous rare diseases. The podcast will highlight the growing population of male caregivers who are caring for their spouse, life partners, children family members, and friends, and joining the ranks of the throngs of women caregivers who have historically been central to this effort. The podcast is co-hosted and produced by Bob Coughlin and Paul Kidwell, with technical supervision provided by Dan Thibeault of Fast Twitch Media. For more information, please contact Paul Kidwell at [email protected].
