Beth is back for Series 2 of the podcast and this time she’s been sitting down to talk to other people who’ve found their lives being affected by dementia, in whatever way, to chat about their experiences and to try to learn as much as possible about this illness…

This week she is joined by Lukas Olszewski whose ex-partner was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia at just 36.
