In Ep 10, we are going on our field trip to the Alzheimer's and dementia show in London, where we hosted a booth to share how Beyondhood’s Record Your Life story service can help leave a lasting legacy for the family and older adults with Alzheimer's before it is too late.

We asked the question: ‘’ What is your favourite memory of your parents or grandparents and how does it make you feel to talk and record these memories of them’’ to around 60 attendees and selected 20 to create this episode.

From carers to patients, from London to Malawi, from 1920 to 2019, from 3 mins stories to 30s moments, join us in experiencing the power of stories and what is it like to record your stories with Beyondhood!

We are continuing our Royal Navy Story with Mickey Ellis. At the end of EP I, Mickey was choosing between the Royal Navy's standard career path and modern pentathlon! If you haven't listened to EP1 yet, SPOIL ALERT ahead!

In Part II, we discussed what Mickey did after he left the Royal Navy, from the Soviet Union, Slovakia, to back to London, how did he apply his skills to civilians' lives?

We dived into a significant change in his life when he was 76 - prison life - what happened?! how did his relationships, his health, and his mindset change before, during and after prison? What did he do in prison and who did he meet? What is his life like now and how does he keep himself strong physically and mentally?

Come and dive into Part II of a Royal Navy officer story - one that is full of surprises and unexpected turns.
