Old Man Lunch is a podcast about three old friends, the twist is that one of us, Matt Allen, was recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 55.
Our goal is to provide a deep look into how Alzheimer’s impacts Matt's life as well as his family, friends, wife, and children. We want to talk about the daily challenges, frustrations, and believe it or not, freedoms (Matt’s words), that Alzheimer’s has brought into his life
In this episode, our first, we are looking at what we want to get out of this podcast and how talking about his diagnosis, both on this podcast and in other settings, helps Matt deal with the anxiety that comes with Alzheimer's.
We also discuss future episode ideas, support groups, and where Matt is his happiest.
Join us for some laughing, some crying, and some brutal honesty about what early-onset Alzheimer's does to Matt, his family, friends, and caregivers.
This podcast will be rated explicit due to swearing, and possible sexual content as well as dealing with sensitive subjects such as religion, atheism, death, and fatal diseases. It will be both emotional and funny if everything goes to plan.
