The Agewyz Podcast

Jana Panarites

Author and (now former) caregiver Jana Panarites engages with unsung heroes — people caring for family members, friends and relatives amid the demands of their own lives — plus experts in the field of aging, and artists who use media to creatively address major health issues and challenge widespread assumptions about aging. Laugh, cry, share and know you're not alone. Note from Jana: I stopped producing this podcast in 2020, but am leaving them here because as we know, caregiving is evergreen. I hope you find comfort in these stories. My latest: https://www.janapanarites.com
