A Podcast created for anyone touched
by Parkinson's Disease, though of course
anyone's welcome. For those long sleepless
nights, Poetry and Prose with Nige.
-In association with www.poetswall.com,
home of 'Poets with Parkinsons' .
Any of my fellow Parkies out there may notice the varying vocals, I've deliberately chosen older recordings so you can see the variation. Typically pd makes the voice softer and more quiet. I've naturally got a soft tone, always have, but in the older recordings it's deep and sonorous, thats because I used different mic techniques. I used to close-mic, using the 'Proximal' effect' now I physically can't hold myself in the proper position due to pd, my latest meds give me a dreadfully dry mouth, rhinitis, all of which have a negative impact on ones speech.

Episode 8 'Away in La La Land'
This episode is a little different. It features a kind of 'Rock n Rhyme' epic Poem. Originally presented with video, this is the first audio-only version.
It is surreal and different and accurately portrays the seven weeks I spent in St. James's Hospital Leeds. The infection, my PD meds, steroids, and anti-biotics any or all caused me to be delusional for a time. It was written as part of my self-help therapy to recover from the experience.
